Short Writing Assignment

Please choose one of the following writing prompts and write a 2 page (maximum!) piece to turn in on Tuesday morning. The piece should be typed, double-spaced, etc. No Turnitin.com this time--just bring a hard copy to class. And have a fun weekend!

Prompts:

1. Write a short opinion piece in which you either agree or disagree with David Shield's statement:

You don't make art; you find it.

2. Write a short lyrical essay in which you demonstrate "mania" and "mastery" about an unexpected subject (think about Maggie Nelson's obsession with the color blue, or David Foster Wallace's "Consider the Lobster").
