For class on WED 10/16, instead of an ICQ, I ask you to
type a 1-page teq-style Essay to bring to class for discussion.
everyone shall speak!!! the pages I wish to ask
you to focus on are pp. 3-30 (not up to p. 34) in sam watkins'
company aytch - and I ask that your 1-page essays focus on the
pages assigned to you - your choice of what grabs you within
those pages. And, of course, read Th. Inge's Introduction + the
preface, as in the syllabus. so:
- in chapter 1 - "we are one ..." to "on the road": pp.
3-9: katarina,
allison, andy, morgan, bry, shaina, sam
- "Staunton" to "sewell mountain": pp.
bottom9-mid16: tom, nate,
katie, zach, nick, breann, dhurim,
- "Romney" to "Virginia, farewell": pp.mid16-24: brooke, erica,
renae, chelsea, emma, etta, briana

9/11/2013 - Essential themes of the typical
Condolence letter sent to relatives of deceased soldiers to
console their mourning hearts and unburden their minds of
whether their loved one (son, brother, father, husband, ...)
died a "good death" -
1. Consciousness of his fate = awareness of imminent death and
of facing the prospect of dying = confrontation
2. willingness to accept life's end for a noble cause,
for good reasons out of self-sacrifice = resignation
3. belief in his soul's eternal destiny in the heavenly
kingdom - faith in god's blessing upon his soul's redemption =
salvation
4. his messages to those living left behind (= family
members, companions, ...) and his words of counsel =
exhortation
