Homework:
Choose one of the objects listed in your journal and write a short story in which the object exists. Remember: it is a symbol. Make sure it is used in that way. The story may be hand-written or typed, includes a heading like the research paper and should be titled 'Object Short Story.' It is due next Wednesday/Thursday in class.
