GREETINGS!!!

Welcome to the blog for our English 100 course! This blog will have everything you need for this course: the syllabus, readings, handouts, assignment descriptions, and other wonderful resources.

WHAT TO DO HERE...

Each week you must reply to the blog for the week. It will be titled Week One, Week Two, and so on. At the end of the week(Sunday evening), I'll record who responded, so you won't be able to go back and make up your responses from previous weeks. Remember, the point is to begin to write as a habit...The best way to exercise this new habit is to overdo it. Don't just respond. Instead, respond, then wait, then respond to someone's response. Turn it into a dialogue. This is non-graded writing. But it still matters. Do too much. Be obnoxiously verbose!

1. In Tattoos on the Heart, Greg Boyle puts himself at risk numerous times. He works tirelessly on behalf of others and has devoted his life to helping. Why do you think he has done this, and what is the lesson that his life teaches?


2. The Jewish scholar Hillel wrote, "If I am not for myself, who will be for me? But if I am only for myself, who am I? If not now, when?" Does this quote apply to the work that Greg Boyle is doing in East L.A.?
