september 7

JOURNAL TOPIC: [today's tunes: "Meaning of Life" by Monty Python; "Sunshine On My Shoulders" by John Denver]

Describe a time you figured something out.  Did you learn or do anything that you can use or repeat the next time you're confronted with a mystery/challenge?  Why does figuring something out make you happy?

AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. Euphemisms
3. Orwell cont'd.

HW:
1. Muse on your blog: what makes words Bad?  Is this important for reinforcing social values?  How does the idea of good/bad words increase or decrease understanding between people?  What is an appropriate use of euphemism and when does it become phony or confusing? (title: BAD WORDS)
