Exercise 1
Instructions: This is a quick exercise that is useful
for strengthening your argumentative/persuasive abilities.
Try it every now and then to get the words flowing.
Think of something -- an object or an action -- that
is ugly or repulsive. Describe this thing in such a
way that the reader will either begin to see it as
beautiful or will believe that the narrator truly
believes it is beautiful. Do not resort to falsehood,
though. One way to manage this is to adopt the
voice of a narrator who thinks each repulsive
aspect of your thing is sublime.
