Topic: Through a Child's Eyes

Well, I'm assuming that no one else is going to have time to post this go-round, and since both dubby and I have posted our WildCard submissions (I promise I'll try not to get caught up in tags and titles) I guess we're ready for a new challenge.
In one of my literature classes we just finished reading The House on Mango Street, and now we have an assignment where we have to write a vignette from our childhood, looking through the eyes of a child, which we will then break down and critique as part of our study on Russian Formalism and New Criticism (yuck). So I'm proposing a challenge, since I need some practice with this, that we write a vignette, scene, poem, or short story from the eyes of a child.
I'm excited already.

  1. Sounds good to me. Yikes, I better get cracking, all of my classes are picking up the pace on reading and writing assignments (not that 6 abstracts and two reader responses a week isn't already a decent pace)...oh dear
