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.
