Image Insertion Practice

"It is not only that the essay could be about anything. It usually was. The good health of essay writing depends on writers continuing to address eccentric subjects. In contrast to poetry and fiction, the nature of the essay is diversity--diversity of level, subject, tone, diction. Essays on being old and falling in love and the nature of poetry are still being written. And there are also essays on Rita Hayworth's zipper and Mickey Mouse's ears." (Atwan 25)

-Susan Sontag

WRITING: For your first blog post of the semester, you will incorporate a quote, image, and two hyperlinks into a 300 word response (we inserted the quote, hyperlinks, and image in class, so all you have to do is write 300 words). What about the particular quote you chose interested you? Did you agree, or disagree with what was written? Why or why not? What are some of the practical ramifications of the quote and how does it manifests itself in your writing or the writing of others. DUE: Sunday, September 7th @ midnight.

READING: I will post an essay on Blackboard tomorrow. Please, read it actively and be ready to discuss the reading in class on Tuesday.
