particular emotion. Choose the emotion from the ones listed below.

This week's exercise offers a choice of the remembering exercises found
in the
Practice archives. (Click
here.)
Visit the archive and choose from "Remembering
. . . beauty, fear,
peace, fun, embarrassment, anticipation, sadness, awe, anger or
faith." Be sure to
read the original directions for the exercise you choose.
To complete any of these "Remembering" exercises draw upon your memory
of an
event and write honestly of what you felt, thought, and did. Include
people who were
with you, and conversation, to make the drama real.
Each exercise asks that you write without embellishing the event, but
do more than
simply tell us about your memory--let us experience it with you by
showing us the
situation as it unfolded.

Critique: Did you empathize with the writer? Did the submission make
clear what
the writer felt? Did reading the submission bring to mind any memories
of your
own? As always, consider all aspects of the writing.
