Evolit: Week 1--Getting started
Paul and I are glad you're here, to share thoughts about the story of
evolution and the evolution of stories. This isn't a place for polished
writing or final words. Its a place for thoughts in progress:
questions, ideas you had before, in or after class, things you've heard
or read or seen that you think others might find interesting. Think of
it as a public conversation, a place to put things from your mind or brain
that others might find useful and to find things from others (in our
class and elsewhere) that you might find useful. And a place we can
always go back to to see what we were thinking before and how our class
conversations have affected that. We are looking forward to seeing where we
go, and hoping you are too.
This past week, you've been told two stories--one (by Paul) about "a work in progress about a work in progress" and another (by me) questioning "what happened to the versus--and the verses." What are your reactions to what you've heard? What are you thinking about both these stories, about their relation to one another and/or to what you already know? (Do you think that poem was really "about" Lincoln?)
