Slave:
There is a lot of dialogue! We don’t want to know the author; we want to know the soup guy. Sometimes, dialogue gives a more perfect vision of the subject.
Ah! We need to stop reading different essays! I can’t decide who I want to write about.
More subject ideas:
Bill Sparks
Pres. Reed
Pick the subject and the side of that person I want to show. I need to decide what I want the reader to know about that person and keep other sides from leaking in. I don’t need “fluff.” To pick that, I need to ask myself, what is unique. Lucas: living day-to-day. Warrants for his arrest. Or
Bill Sparks: living a life of service.
Warning: Don’t try to cover too much ground.
Levels of reflection:
To work on:
Fill it with more details, and add my own commentary. Make my current-self talk. Not just the “me” living the event.

Art: something to be admired. Can be a skill, a painting, music, a life style. “The perfection of anything.” “a way to express yourself.”
How do you teach your children an appreciation for art?
I don’t know how much you have to. I don’t feel like I should focus on that when there is so much more my kids are going to have to worry about. If I can teach them where all beautiful things come from, they will appreciate beautiful things, no matter what time period they come from. I think if I can teach them to love the Lord and the gospel, art doesn’t matter. I feel like if we focus too much on the things of the world, our kids will become of the world.
LUCAS!

Questions to ask:
What are the advantages and disadvantages of being the Skagit Valley Community College President and a Mormon at the same time?
What gets you discouraged?
What encourages you?
How do you exercise your priesthood every day?
What is your long-term career goal?
How are you preparing for your mission?
What about being a missionary scares you? Are you excited for?
What childhood events helped shape who you are?
What events in your teenage or adult life further defined your character?
When you have (or make) time to think, where do you start? Or what is your process of thinking?
How do you live your standards in such a difficult place to live?
What is it like to be an uncle?
How is it being the Bishop’s son?
How is your relationship with your dad? Have you worked out your “frustrations” with him?
How is your relationship with your mom? How do you treat her?
Definition of Indifference:
Indifference reduces the Other to an abstraction.
What (or who) you know can’t hurt you… Or bless you.
Was Mom being indifferent by leaving that little girl with the woman at the shooting? I don’t think so. She was led by the spirit to go home.
Christ was indifferent to himself. Maybe

Define:
Tolerance- “agreeing to disagree” without complaint or discrimination (for example Emily and popping her gum or other religions in my life)
Appreciation- respecting and understanding a difference in a person. (being able to share experiences, thoughts, feelings, or precious time with someone who acts or believes differently than you.)
“There is too much intolerance in the world. There is too much of it in our own society… I sat one evening at the table of a Jewish friend. The prayer he uttered upon his guests and upon the table at which we sat was beautiful and moving. I was grateful for what I heard. We can be appreciative in a very sincere way. We must not only be tolerant, but we must cultivate a spirit of affirmative gratitude for those who do not see things quite as we see them. We do not in any way have to compromise our theology, our convictions, our knowledge of eternal truth as it has been revealed by the God of Heaven. We can offer our own witness of truth, quietly, sincerely, honestly, but never in a manner that will give offense to others.” ~ President Hinckely (I Think pg. 92)

I need to write more details about the people and places in my story and introduce them at different times.

A misplaced modifier contains all of the proper information to make the sentence clear, it’s just in the
wrong place in the sentence and so causes confusion.
Example: The other morning, I came out of the tent and shot an elephant in my pajamas.
(The rest of the joke goes: How he got in my pajamas, I will never know.)
“The town outlaws dancing. What?! Rexburg doesn’t even do that!” ~Brother Dayley
A dangling modifier may be in a logical location in the sentence, but it’s missing key information (often the subject of the main clause following it) and so makes the sentence less than clear for the reader.
Examples: Having finished dinner, the football game was turned on. The game didn’t finish dinner.)
After reading the original study, the articles remains unconvincing. (We don’t know who read the original study.)
Running for the bus, the rain started coming down in buckets and I got all wet.
The couch was kind of ugly in the furniture store.
Having searched and searched for Mr. Right, it started to seem like he didn’t exist.
The Chase:
Details + Commentary/meaning/significance (bottom (80%) + top(20%)): Annie Dillard
Someone can’t get off the bottom of the ladder: I can’t get on it!
If we’re supposed to work our way up to the top of the ladder, but the middle of the ladder is bad, how do you get up there? Do you jump?
