Making Connections Between Themes and Real Life

Choose one of the readings from this first week of classes.  Choose the central theme of one of the articles and compare that theme to something from your own life.  For example, most students can relate to Saskia Verlaan's "Perspectives on Fear" so making a connection between her article and sometime from your own experience would be appropriate for this blog.   If you choose Tim O'Brien's "How to Tell a True War Story" maybe you can relate his theme to a story you were told by someone in your own family.  Making connections is the key.  Good Luck!
