Hemingway - Fiction Draft #3

Today in class please continue to complete the second draft of your Hemingway Project. See below for details. This should already be done, but if you needed more time or you procrastinated, do it now.

When you are ready to move on to the next draft, please see the instructions below:

Draft Three: Stream of Consciousness

1. Examine your flashbacks. Find moments where your character can include digressions, get stuck on topics, trail off, etc. You are trying to replicate or reproduce how the character’s mind works. See The Gambler, The Nun, & the Radio (end paragraph on opium) and A Clean Well Lighted Place (the ending paragraph on nada or "nothing")
2. Write these flashbacks using stream of consciousness.
