Blog #13

My proposed focus for my object may sound silly, but I’d really love to write about my childhood teddy bear named Hank. Hank has been part of my life for a very long time and I’d like to discuss why he’s my favorite teddy bear and about all the places I’ve gone that he’s traveled with me to.

Some specific descriptions I may use to develop a focus include when I received Hank, how he got his name, what he looks like, and the big question; will I ever be able to leave Hank behind? My parents sometimes joke because I’m 21 years-old and still take Hank everywhere with my including vacations and they’re curious if when I get married will I take Hank with me into my new home and life.

As the reader I would be curious about where did I get Hank from, and why I haven’t left him in the past. For most children their childhood blanket, or stuffed animal is left in a memory box and never relieved but it’s different for me. I also would be curious about what he looks like, and how he got his name.

  1. I liked what we talked about and I think that starting the story off with a personification of Hank would be both strategic and humorous. I guess you have some thinking to do about what the reflection is. I think we both do. Once you find what it is that you want to express I think it will be easier for you to put on paper. You should definitely add the humor that Dr. Chandler was talking about (the whole sowing the arm back on thing). By being humorous with the audience I think they will easier embrace what he actually is rather than what they expected him to be.
