How to Eat a Guava

Today we read Santiago's description, "How to Eat a Guava."  Her images were so strong that we could almost taste every bite, feel the tang of the fruit as she bit into the flesh of the fruit, and savour her memories of childhood bliss. Santiago took us back to the past and then brought us lurching back to the present. As you write your personal descriptions, make sure that we can have that same sensory experience. Take us there with you and let us share the moment with you. Remember to bring your fruit or vegetable to class for Tuesday. Please post your writing for comments this weekend. We will be going to the library on Monday to work on editing our blogs for part of the class.

Have fun with your writing! I look forward to sharing with you.
