What an assembly! What a great day for Reynolds and for all those involved in the Cops for Cancer fundraising.
The task this weekend is simple and set to allow you to get into your reading and to get into commenting on the blog. In your responses, please follow all the formats and expectations that you normally would if you were submitting a paper for assessment (i.e. proper grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc.).
Task
Read 20 pages of your novel this weekend. From your reading, choose the passage (from one sentence to a paragraph) that you wish you had written. It could be beautiful in its descriptive nature, startling in its word choice, or just amazing to you. Please include the passage in the comments and, in turn, make a comment on why you have chosen this passage to share. Please include relevant information as well (Title of the novel and page number of the passage) so others can have context for your passage.
Please email me for clarification, should you need it.
