Polly Wiessner_Embers of Society_1.pdf
Although the general theme of Wiessner's essay the window into the night opened by humankind's use of fire, she does an excellent job of discussing the role of storytelling within different cultures. Write a onepage essay in which you discuss the importance of storytelling to a culture or culture, when stories are told, and what those stories are about (give examples).
In this class, a onepage essay is written in 12point type (for example 12point Times New Roman) with oneinch margins on the right and left sides as well as the top and bottom. You may write longer than onepage if you need more space. The surest way to submit your essay is to copy it to a Clipboard, then past the entire essay at once in the space provided by Canvas.
Your essay has no right or wrong answer. It requires you to develop your own ideas and to present your ideas clearly. To write well for this class, you may find these guidelines helpful:
Trust yourself. Make statements.
Use direct, declarative sentences to express your ideas.
Support your ideas with evidence from the assigned reading.
Reach a conclusion. Have a point to make.
