1. Rewrite one full paragraph subtracting as many details as possible, while still keeping the passage understandable. The first paragraph may be rewritten to look like this:
Sometime in the morning, Denise found herself awake and listening to a sound that was coming from the water. Squirt pushed himself up and peered into the night and when a growl began to issue from the puppy's throat, Denise grabbed him and stuffed him under her bag. She thought she could make out the silhouette and did not want Squirt to antagonize the animal. When the sounds seemed to move Denise awoke the others and told them what she had heard.......
2. Continue or begin working on a FULL Draft of an Essay about a food that is special to you, your family, or your culture; and (perhaps) the person associated with that food. Write an essay in which you describe the food/dish, the person who makes it, and your feelings associated with. Your draft should use sensory details like the two essays we have read: "Rice" by Jhumpa Lahiri and "The Night of The Grizzles"
