JOURNAL TOPIC: [today's tunes: "What's He Building in There?" by Tom
Waits; "Halloween (Michael Myers) Theme" by John Carpenter; "This is
Halloween" by Marilyn Manson]
Since today begins Dia de los Muertos, three options (one for each death, or each face plus a bonus):
1. What role does fear (of death, of loss, of discovery) play in books and movies? What role does it play in your own life and
decision-making process?
2. What masks do people wear in everyday life, i.e., how/why/when do we
intentionally adopt personae that serve purposes other than reflecting
who we are with integrity?
3. As you think about the first tune of the day, what is it about what the storyteller DOESN'T say that creates suspense?
AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. Why stories are more memorable than lectures
3. Continue "The Road Not Taken" -- must be posted or recited by tomorrow (Friday)
