Lazy Writers: October 2009
http://lazyfreshmenwriters.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 23, 2009. That Damned Human Race. In "The Damned Human Race," Mark Twain argues that man is the "lowest animal." Our class found this to be true and false at the same time. Ultimately, we decided that it's hard to know. Especially when we're a part of the equation. Brittany reminded us that we know nothing about what animals think. We can only guess. And when we do guess, we do so from our own perspective, as humans. So is Twain right? Everything added up. But still, we weren't sold o...

Lazy Writers: Discussion 3: Tweens
http://lazyfreshmenwriters.blogspot.com/2009/10/discussion-3-tweens.html
Thursday, October 1, 2009. In class last Thursday, we discussed Kay S. Hymowitz's essay, "Tweens: Ten Going on Sixteen.". The youth of today is growing up too fast, says Hymowitz. Girls dress like teenagers at ten. They put away their dolls and put up posters of "hot celebs." Meanwhile, boys start experimenting with petty theft and drugs. When they get together, it's trouble. Kids are having sex, as young as twelve years old. Pointed out - the older sibs can be bad influences. It's not the most wholesome...

Lazy Writers: Driving to the Funeral
http://lazyfreshmenwriters.blogspot.com/2009/11/driving-to-funeral.html
Tuesday, November 17, 2009. Driving to the Funeral. In class today, we discussed Anna Quindlen's essay "Driving to the Funeral." Quindlen writes about the fact that the number one killer of teenagers is car accidents. We spent class trying to figure out why this is true. So we can't argue that sixteen is too young. 1 Why do you think car accidents are the number one cause of death in teens? 2 Most adults believe that teenagers think they are "invisible." Is this true? Consider the stereotype that adults ...
