Stranger Than Wal-Mart

"Some 138 million Americans shop at Wal-Mart each week, making it perhaps the single most unifying cultural force in the country."

Venture #2 | Marjorie Riches

Leaves twinkle joyfully in the lazy blue daylight
Bouncing bright sunbeams off their faces,
Shining, trying to stand out in a sea of millions.
Wanting to be the biggest most beautiful on the tree,
The most important
Yearning for the sky to notice them and tell them,
You are a very special leaf.
Not realizing that they are only one leaf
Just one leaf on a huge tree
Just one leaf on one tree in the middle of the forest.
The sky, with the whole world to explore
Will never notice one little leaf.

Venture #2 Instructions | Dr. Petersen

Now that you're back from the canyon, and now that you've refined your field writing into something that you've posted in your private blog, I want you to develop one your (small/human/grand scale) drafts into a Venture for the public blog.

As you did the last time in this space, take your basic writing and develop it into a more full, more complete entry.

Give it the title: Venture #2 | Your Name
Use the labels: Your Name, Venture #2, Canyon Park

Why Venture #1, because your introduction was Venture #1.
This is due on Monday.
Have fun.
