  that source in your journal entry. Please be sure

  Quotes document, which describes how to
  integrate quotations.

  not be confused with a personal journal. This
  activity requires organization, effective
  stylistics and grammar, and proper source
  incorporation. It is not a free-writing or
  reflective writing exercise.

  week, Sister Flowers and I Want a Wife, use
  narrative and/or descriptive elements (refer to

  this week to write about. In 250 to 500 words
