“Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book. And then there are books like An Imperial Affliction, which you can't tell people about, books so special and rare and yours that advertising your affection feels like betrayal.” – Hazel Grace, The Fault in Our Stars
While listening to The Last Lecture, compose a ½ page hand-written reflection for each day’s passage. This reflection does not have to a formal writing piece, but rather a collection of ideas and thoughts you form while listening to Pausch’s story. Please keep your reflections in a journal or on a number of sheets stapled together. Date each entry, as you would a journal. I will be checking for completion, rather than reading for details, so feel free to write with abandon. Reflection Pieces
