Exercise #369: Self Knowledge
Posted 5/21/10
You have been granted the power to give something, one thing, to someone you don’t know. As you ponder this power, you cross paths with a stranger in obvious need.
What gift will you give him or her?
You may, if you wish, show a character tackling this exercise instead.
Critiquers, with an exercise like this one, you might choose to answer these questions rather than using a different technique for critiquing the piece:
* Did you catch any spelling errors or other standard proofreading items? If so, note them for the author.
* Do you see the value in the gift? Did the stranger?
* Could you relate to the choice of gift? Why or why not?
