Lab 2--Beginning to write the First Paper:

Choose one of the stories (the one you "like" best, or better, the one that flummoxes you the most)

and annotate sections (words, sentences, paragraphs, scenes) with the following comments:

1. Interesting

2.Strange

3. Revealing

4. Significant

There is an explication of these ideas on pp. 37-38 of "Writing Analytically."

Then write a paragraph or more about the story (or a part of it) using the following prompt: "Seems to be about x but is really about y."

Now, look at the assignment and explication of the first paper and think how what you  have written can connect with the assignment.
