Today is an essay in the making.

Don't miss the opportunity to write it down.

Here is your prompt:

1) Set the stage of your day, who is there with you, describe the room, the people, what everyone wears and says. Describe the smells.

2) How do you feel among these people, eating this food?

(Not how you are supposed to feel but how you really feel. Tell your truth in beautiful whispers).

3) Remember a Thanksgiving from the past and see how that one is different or the same as this.

4) Then come back to the room of your moment, see it all again, what detail stands out most for you?

If anyone asks, "what are you doing?" Tell them it's a writing assignment for a teacher and leave it at that.

Send it to me, or even do it in the comment box, and I'll post it here on the site (I might edit a few). The best essay will win a free signed copy of Found.
