Blog #2: My First...

If Van Meter's essay, "First," is inspiration, for our "first" real blog, I'd like for you to think on a first and write about it.  Title your blog, My first ___, filling in the blank with your topic: e.g.  kiss, encounter with death, taboo, regret, recognition of my race/gender/class, stolen item, betrayal, joyful memory, recognition of who I am, etc.

Write it up as a scene, a moment in time, infused with detail and action.  This may end up being around 500 words or more.  Once you have finished detailing this memory, hit return a couple of times and write a brief paragraph where you consider what this memory has to teach you and your reader.  What internal conflict does it offer up to you?  How were you changed in some subtle or deeper way?

This is due prior to Wednesday's class.
