“You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was Dostoevsky and Dickens who taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people.”— James Baldwin

A prompt + a challenge for students: a) read this quote by DFW, b) spend 10 min. responding to what fire alights within you. Part II: Write down a list of writers who do this for you, carry the list with you, attend to the sparks! #writingcommunity #teacher #prompt #education
