#116, Six
We will read millions of words in our lifetime, but only a small fraction of them stay with us. We are overwhelmed with text on our cell phone, in novels, on television, in textbooks and a near immeasurable amount of others. Words invade our lives from the moment we wake until our heads hit the pillow. As quickly as we process the words, they disappear from our memory forever. Others remained stubbornly lodged in our minds whether we wish them to or not. Can you remember any lines from the first story we read this year, Partners?
Words have a wealth of meaning that is enriched by our personal experiences. This week we'll explore 6 six word stories and our interpretation of them.
To complete this Journal response, address the following:
