Reminders for Tuesday

Hello all,

On Tuesday, please bring your updated genre assignments–if yours was complete, I will simply bring all of the assignments with me–so, you won’t need to bring anything.

We will be finishing sharing with the class about our genre discoveries on Tuesday as well as working with our classmates on peer review.

Here are some short readings for Thursday’s class:

Some Genre Examples

Hi all,

Here is one link that I will ask you to print and read this genre example:

We will also be working with this handout that I am pasting here:

Genre Example:

These quotes are all taken from philosophers. Specifically, these philosophers are known as ones who write about philosophies of life or living. The second example is taken from a text that is also considered a religious philosophy that some people live by or follow.

These roses under my window make no reference to former roses or to better ones; they are for what they are; they exist with God today. There is no time for them. There is simply the rose; it is perfect in every moment of its existence. But man postpones or remembers; he does not live in the present, but with reverted eye laments the past, or heedless of the riches that surround him, stands on tiptoe to foresee the future. He cannot be happy and strong until he too lives with nature in the present, above time.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Great perfection appears defective, so use can never make it worn; great fullness seems vacant, so use can never make it empty. Great straightness seems bent; great skill seems clumsy; great eloquence seems inarticulate. Haste overcomes cold, tranquility overcomes heat.
Clear and tranquil, be a standard to the world.

Lao Tzu ( from the Dao de Jing)


Whatever is done for love always occurs beyond good and evil.

Love is blind; friendship closes its eyes.

One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.

Friedrich Nietzsche (these are three separate quotes)

…all that the possession of wealth can achieve has a very small influence upon our happiness, in the proper sense of the word; indeed wealth rather disturbs it, because the preservation of property entails a great many unavoidable anxieties. And still men are a thousand times more intent on becoming rich than on acquiring culture, though it is quite certain that what a man is contributes much more to his happiness than what he has.

Arthur Schopenhauer
