Secret Histories: The Outsider
We're defining the "outsider" as any person viewed as outside the group, the norm, the "right" people, and so on. This may be someone from childhood days, someone in your family, some neighbor or fellow worker or fellow student--anybody who was marked as "different" or "not right" or "not normal" or "odd" or "strange"(Yes, it also can be a self-portrait of you in an outsider phase).
In-class writing:
Write a nonfiction (true, real-life) story about an outsider in your life.
1. 15 minutes: the person's house, car, bike, any and all objects/things that he/she uses.
2. 15 minutes: the person's behavior, things he/she typically does.
3. 10 minutes: what the person looks like--clothes, appearance, etc.
4. 15 minutes: what happened one particular time with the person--a little anecdote or story.
