The Lines We Love and Give Us the Most Insight in Annie Dillard's "The Chase"
In class today, we discussed Annie Dillard's noted narrative essay "The Chase." We looked at it from many different angles trying to make some sense of what on the surface looks short and simple, but then also seems to offer something more. At one point, we stopped to think about our conversation and to identify the passages and points that we found most important for insight. Please actually write the quote or line that you find most important after considering this essay again. Then, in a thoughtful passage of about 10 sentences, explain your reasoning. There's not a right or wrong answer on this and we're not looking for a perfect essay. The key is for you to take some time to offer your own personal reflections in a more formal way.
