Kindra Lee

The air is perfectly still--creepy still -- and it is partly cloudy. Also, it is early morning around 6:30 AM.

Blog #7 - The past is always present

In this blog post, you should use Morrison's technique to further develop your character.  You should recall, in some way, a past event that has had a profound or very strong effect on your character's present life.  A childhood incident, a loss of some sort, a moment that your character made a decision about something that influenced your character's subsequent actions. You could use last week's mugging to trigger the memory.  Like Morrison, your character could describe some other character from his/her past. That description of  another character tells more about your character as well.  Also, you can to use a piece, line, phrase, paragraph from another story you've read in class, or a passage from this novel to start your blog.  Sometimes great writers are inspired by something another author has written. For example, the description under Castle Apartments is from a T.S. Eliot poem.

Blog #6 - The crime

There has been a crime.  Someone has been mugged and there are witnesses.  You are going to write the event from one of the following positions.  Write your character into the scene.  Your scene should start no sooner than about 5 minutes before the crime and finish right after as the alleged perpetrator is fleeing the scene.  Time of day is twilight.  Time of year is early March. 

#1 Alleged perpetrator

#5 Victim

#4 Eye-witness from an upper window, balcony, rooftop, etc.

#3 Eye-witness who is walking down the street

#2 The person who is passed-out behind something in the immediate area: tree, dumpster, car, etc.

#6 the person who gets run into by the alleged perpetrator as she/he is making their escape.

1.     Sherwood park

2.     Next to Strip club, on the side nearest Castle Apt.

3.     Near locked shed behind the theater

4.     Between the roller rink and Walter’s Lanes.

5.     Near basketball court 

6.   Behind the police station and the shoe store.
