So I'm not really sure of what I want to write for the next paper. At first I expected that all of the papers for this class would be personal stories. Now my understanding of Creative Nonfiction has been expanded, leaving open many possibilities for the "eye" essay.
One of my classmates had a good suggestion, and it's probably what I will do. I could talk about some aspect of Mexican culture or Hong Kong culture. I love talking about these things anyways, so that would be pretty fun. I could explain the concept of confianza (trust in relationships) in Mexican culture. Or how language and culture overlapped. Or some of the superstitious beliefs I learned about. For Hong Kong I could talk about the materialism and the effect this is having on youth there today. Although, to be honest, I'd have to really think about that before I do. because I'm friends with some of my students from Hong Kong, and we still keep in touch. It would feel strange (betrayal?) to write about them indirectly and share it with the world.
