Part II: Journal
Reflection
In your journal: Once you have compiled a comprehensive list, write about the
experiences you have had with each. Do
not hold back. Some will offer more
passionate responses than others will. Some may upset you. Some may even surprise you.
This will be part of an on-going exploration as we examine
the narrative that is our lives. We are
all protagonists, characters narrating our existences through our first person
point of view. Remember, there is a
third person narrator - dual narrative if you will - telling the story of
us. Let your voice be the true war story.
