For your second blog post assignment, you will do some prewriting for your Memoir essay. "Description of a complication" will consist of a significant portion of this essay. The complication of your memoir is the problem or challenge that you or others needed to resolve. So, pick one of the memoir ideas from your brainstorming list created in class on September 13, and respond to the following to start thinking about the complication (write in as much detail as possible):
*What exactly happened? Who did it and what did they do? How long did it take for the event to develop?
*What was the essential conflict or complication that caused this story to be something more than an everyday event? How did you or the other people in the story feel about the tension?
Note: For me to easily locate your blog posts when grading, please title your blogs as I title mine-- for example: Blog Post #2: Memoir Prewriting.
