Journal Responses for Friday 9/12 and Wednesday 9/17

For "The Miss Dennis School of Writing," consider the following questions in your journal response: Miss Dennis urged her students "to tell an interesting story." Whose story is Steinbach telling in this essay? How interesting do you find that narrative?

For "In Praise of the Humble Comma," consider the following questions in your journal response: Why is the comma so important to Iyer? Why does he feel a need to praise it to the rest of the world?

As you did for the previous journal response, your response to each essay should be at elast 75-80 words for a total of at least 150 words.
