For Thursday, please read these 2 pieces by Gertrude Stein–“If I Told Him” and an excerpt from “Portraits and Repetition” and I’d like everyone to post about the following (and feel free to be creative!):
- What is a portrait? How do we write a “completed portrait”? What do you think of Stein’s work? What do you think she is trying to teach us?
- OR, write your own “completed portrait” of a close friend.
