How does an ordinary person compile descriptions, thoughts, and reflections to create a work that is truly extraordinary? This course will focus on the definition of creative nonfiction as separate from journalism or other works of nonfiction that are less biographical and creative. Our end goal is to create something that is read-worthy by someone other than our mothers and to imagine ourselves as authors of the story of our lives. We will read creative nonfiction and explore how these writers not only tell their stories as in "WHAT happened" but also the ways they reflect on their snippet of reality, how they make sense of the experiences, and how they bring those experiences to life for the reader. Students will learn to read critically and therefore think critically about what they read and the world around them. The work of the term will consist of written discussion responses and a journal that will lead us to the sparkling creative nonfiction essay that tells our story.
By the end of the semester students will have engaged in reading, thinking and writing. The work of the term will consist of reading quizzes, written discussion responses, and a journal that will lead us all to the sparkling creative nonfiction essay that tells our story.

On October 5 anti-Federalist Samuel Bryan published the first of his "Centinel" essays in Philadelphia's Independent Gazetteer. Republished in newspapers in various states, the essays assailed the sweeping power of the central government, the usurpation of state sovereignty, and the absence of a bill of rights guaranteeing individual liberties such as freedom of speech and freedom of religion. "The United States are to be melted down," Bryan declared, into a despotic empire dominated by "well-born" aristocrats. Bryan was echoing the fear of many anti-Federalists that the new government would become one controlled by the wealthy established families and the culturally refined. The common working people, Bryan believed, were in danger of being subjugated to the will of an all-powerful authority remote and inaccessible to the people. It was this kind of authority, he believed, that Americans had fought a war against only a few years earlier.
In New York the Constitution was under siege in the press by a series of essays signed "Cato." Mounting a counterattack, Alexander Hamilton and John Jay enlisted help from Madison and, in late 1787, they published the first of a series of essays now known as the Federalist Papers. The 85 essays, most of which were penned by Hamilton himself, probed the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation and the need for an energetic national government. Thomas Jefferson later called the Federalist Papers the "best commentary on the principles of government ever written."
