Happy Blogging!
Wag’s Revue is proud to award “The Country I Came From” by Lili Wright its Inaugural Prize in Nonfiction.
“Ms. Wright is able to evoke the swiftest humor and pathos with the shortest, swiftest strokes in this essay. While marvelously crafted, I chose this work because of the pertinence of what it has to say. From her vantage point atop so-called Old Journalism, Ms. Wright looks upon this beast that is the internet, and the writer’s precarious citizenship in it, contributing much to today’s dialogue about the death of print.”
-Sandra Allen, Nonfiction Editor

ReplyDeletehay wats up ms.rucker!!
ReplyDeleteI think the story is going to be about Ms. Wright and old fashioned girl who starts to discover brand new things including the internet and finds many interesting things on the way.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to seeing what the chracters find out especially the part about the internet i wanna see how they deal with it and learn how to use it.
I think old journalism is just a story using facts about the past and the language is a little different. I think it will be pretty relevant for highschool students.

ReplyDeleteThanks everyone!!
ReplyDeleteI think the story will be about Ms. Wright getting through problems that come to her life. And her job of journalism.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward on reading more of her stories of her old bosses and jobs.
I think old journalism is of how journalism was back then. I do think it is revelant for students to read stories like that so we know how their tatics were.

ReplyDeletei was watching la television and Edward Cullen came through my window and asked for my autograph. I said ill give it to him for a kiss, but when we were about to kiss I woke up on my bed kissing my cat.Bohoo.
ReplyDeleteI was jogging in the park when suddenly I was runned over by a car. I blacked out and when I came back Anakin Skywalker was standing there asking for forgiveness for running me over. Then he asked me out. But then I walk up in the hospital, and the nurse told me I had barelly woken up from a comma. The weirdess thing was that I was 71 years old.And i was runned over at the age of fourteen.
