Visceral Reactions and the Water Buffalo

Comments/Reflections/Questions about the water buffalo and our class discussion this Monday should be posted here. Also, have you experienced any visceral reactions lately? Were they in film, literature, music, elsewhere? If visceral, did you also feel empathy? Why or why not?

Care to prove or disprove his concrete existence?

Spin

Can you think of any incidences of spin
in journalism (all media) or politics recently?

After you cite your example(s),
analyze why the author believed it necessary
to shift the perspective of the audience.
These responses will have to deal with purpose/intent in some way.

Concrete and Abstract Reality

I'm pleased that so many people asked for a blog thread on this topic.
Feel free to comment and/or question.

When writing, see if you can incorporate any of the knowledge you have gleaned
from Everyday Use, Chapter 1.
