Go to the Story Corps Website and listen to three interviews from the site. For each of your blogging topics this week, address the ways that the interviewees reflect upon their lives. Here are some suggestions.

1. Search for the stories by Don “Moses” Lerman on competitive eating and Blanca Alvarez on crossing the US/Mexico border.

How do they focus upon a single incident to tell their stories?

2. Search for the story by Henry Belcher on dancing?

How does he talk about how a single thing affected him through his life?

How do these stories relate to the memoir project for this class?

Think of creative ways that you could incorporate research into their stories (just as you must do for your memoir project).

Or simply reflect on how their stories affected you?

The stories above are only suggestions. There are hundreds of stories on the website that you may reflect upon in your blogs.
