Quote:
“Stickeen and I were too tired to eat much, and, strange to say, too tired to sleep…Nevertheless, we arose next morning in newness of life. Never before had rocks and ice and trees seemed so beautiful and wonderful, even the cold, biting rainstorm that was blowing seemed full of loving kindness, wonderful compensation for all that we had endured, and we sailed down the bay through the gray, driving rain rejoicing” (Muir 181).
Prompt:
In this quote, Muir describes the joy that he and Stickeen felt after making it safely across the dangerous glacier and back to camp. Write about a time when you were filled with joy, then exchange with a partner and respond. Then read what your partner wrote, respond and exchange again. Your goal is to have a conversation on paper, so briefly summarize what your partner wrote, respond by making a personal connection, and then ask a question. Your goal is 100+ words for your first entry and at least 50 words for your responses.
