Blog Post #3: Memoir Prewriting-Setting the Scene (Due 9/20)

Your memoir will be more realistic if you give your audience enough detail to visualize the scene, people, and the events for themselves.  Make a post in your course blog in which you set the scene in rich detail.  Use the following writing prompts to think about and write down as much detail as you can about the scene:

The People.  What were the people in the scene like?  What did they say?  How did they behave?

The Scenes.  What did each scene look like?  How did it feel or smell?  What did you taste or hear?  What is the history of this place-- bots its public history and your personal history?

Dialogue.  Who said what to whom before and after the event?  How did they say it (were they angry, excited, thrilled, scared)?

Note: title your post by the title of this post (for grading/identification purposes).
