The Writer's Notebook is a place for doing the work of writers. Here you will find prompts that hopefully can be the ice pick for the frozen sea that is your creative brain, and that can turn into the larger projects of the quarter.
Writer's Notebook entries should undergo at least two drafts before submitting--that is, they begin as "free writes" or writing we may do in class. Then, so it's more than merely free form, please type your entry, revising to a "second level" kind of draft. You should have FIVE of these pieces each quarter.

On page 193 in This Boy’s Life, in the paragraph toward the bottom of the page, the writer explains the reasons he chose the name "Thomas Findon." Use the passage as the basis for an introduction to an essay on the book's major theme.
