The Dreamer and Fun Home

We looked at a few selections to help inspire us on the way to writing a Not for College Essay.

In the comment box, please respond to either the Fun Home selection or The Dreamer Did Not Exist. Please try to address one or more of the following considerations:

a) How is the writer's voice important to the meaning of the piece as a whole?
b) What is significant about how the piece is arranged (here you can make comments about the arrangement of Bechel's illustrations)?
c) What problematic idea or experience is being explored in the piece?  If you feel that this particular problem is "solved" in the selection, it is probably not worth too much attention.
