"Our Time"
First I have to say that I did really like this essay, but this assignment is mentally hard for me. I am supposed to be studying in hopes of writing an essay in the same style. The problem I am having is that, in all actuality, I could write it in exactly the same way. Let me explain that a little. It says to use his topic ( Brother, neighborhoods) as an example you are free to use these but you can choose whatever topic you want. Well while reading this I think of my brother and while reading this assignment that is the first and so far only thing to come to mind. My Brother has a past, he is not in jail, but has been and my mother has told me things about him at different times in my life. I mean really I could write something really close to this and just as true. So my dilemma is: Do I stick with the same idea and the first thought or do I risk over analyzing to make it something more?

My advice is go with what you know. It may be similar in topic, but your story will be different. I have been beating myself over the head trying to figure out how I am supposed to write like Susan Griffin, her essay took her years of research, etc. and is like 40 pages long. No pressure. So I am going to have to reduce it to a very basic representation of what she was trying to do and stop freaking out about it.
