blog post asignment for LM, Wed.


Do both A and B and post them both in  the same post.  Due Wednesday by class time. 
A. Explain in your own words Wendell Berry’s distinction between a “rational” and a “sympathetic” mind, and then using that distinction, identify and discuss two examples from the last third of Lost Mountain where Reece exhibits his own “sympathetic” mind. 
B. Select and reproduce a quote from the conclusion chapter of LM that you find significant.  Make sure you quote accurately and include the page number in a parenthesis at the end of the quote.  The quote should be more than one sentence and express a complete thought.  Then comment on this quote. Poke it and prod it. Connect it to other things.  Poke and prod your mind and see what happens and express this encounter as well as you can.
