World Masterpieces 272 Name:_________________ The Grasmere
Journals Assignment--10 points Assignment: Dorothy
Wordsworth’s the Grasmere Journals,
pp. 705-735 First, read as many of Dorothy
Wordsworth’s journal entries (pp. 705-736) as necessary to get a feel for the
style and content. As you read the
entries, ask yourself what her purpose is, who her audience is, and what the
general content is of her typical journal entries. Next, pick a day in your
life (today up to the day before the assignment is due) and at the end of
that day, write your own journal entry mimicking Wordsworth’s. Try for the same tone and type of content
as Wordsworth achieves, but use your own day as your subject. · Please
write it in your own hand--not typed or word-processed. · A page
will do. · Bring
it to share at the beginning of class on the due date. |
