Journal Eleven: What is X" What does X do? What does X mean?
With the answers to the three questions you came up with in class today, think about the sorts of responses you came up with, such as those for a concrete notions: visual description, names, aspects of object, and other fairly objective answers; abstractions, which are more subjective and what they may mean to the speaker/writer; and actions, a mixture of the object and what is done with object. Think also about the types of speech that these represent: concrete notions as nouns, abstractions as adverbs and adjectives indicating an interpretation of of X, and actions as verbs. As best as you can, which means imperfectly, describe what you see the asking and answering of the three questions doing, primarily in regard to the way you see and think. Work with the assumption that questions are never neutral. Having posted this journal, respond to at least two others, as well as responding to a response to you. Also, be ready to discuss this is in class Thursday.
