Journaling is for the bird...

September 7. Homework - Journal entry
Think about the story, A White Heron. In the story the tall pine that Sylvia climbs to find the heron is one of the most important symbols in the story. For this assignment, let’s agree that the pine tree symbolizes Sylvia’s passage into maturity – she climbs the tree a child, makes a decision once she can see clearly, and comes down the tree one step closer to being an adult. With that in mind, write five to six complete sentences describing an event that is the same as that Sylvia experienced. Specifically answer the following questions: What was important to you before the event? Provide some details of the event. What was important to you after the event? How did it change you? If you have to pick an object/color/place to symbolize that event, what would it be?

Journals should be brought to class on September 8. Individuals may be asked if they are comfortable sharing their entries.
