Your goal is to try to figure out what the main idea or theme could possibly be of this poem. There is not necessarily a right answer for this! What you have to do is write out 1-2 sentences that explain what you think the theme is, and then at least 5 words or phrases that lead you towards that idea. One potential theme will be revealed in the review, just for those of you who can’t stand to not have an “answer” but remember that the main idea or theme is really up to the reader of the poem. Each person who reads this poem will be bringing their own prior knowledge to the reading, so the theme or main idea will change for each person. It may even change each time you read it! The goal here is to think about what you think the poem might be trying to get across and that you are able to support that idea. Write out your 1-2 sentences explaining your theme and include at least 5 words or phrases that you feel support your conclusion. Upload this to your instructor.

i’m writing a memoir and i’ve been given the great suggestion of placing a ‘sub-narrative’ within some of the chapters – sort of, what was going on with me in the grand scheme of things.

i was wondering how to format this so that it is very obvious we are stepping out the of story.

firstly is a change in font from serif to sans workable? i also use dashes for a scene change. was thinking of using a different scene-changer too.

here’s a (shortened) example:

university – or what’s known as ‘uni’ in australia – were some of the best days of my life. where else do you get to potter around in a great location, have very little responsibility, learn lots of things, do lots of things and walk out four years later with a bonus – a degree!

with my university years i had immersed myself into community of intelligent ambitious people. generally everyone had a confidence about themselves. they knew where they were going in life and weren’t threatened by others.

(sorry couldn’t show the fonts in this comment field)

too much?

i think its a waste but, it also important for are education
