Lit of Place 10/7

Here are three prompts:

1) Define "place."

2) Ian Frazier had an unusual list of things that described the Great Plains; William Least Heat-Moon wanted to make a "deep map" of it. If you were to make a deep map of Lubbock, what would it include?

3) In the readings by Rolvaag and Weaver, immigrants to the Great Plains experienced both prejudice and difficulty assimilating. What role did fear play in both these things? Are there parallels to today?

There is an additional reading for next week ("Leaving Vinland" by Diane Heuter Warner) that is available in the Honors College at the front desk. Meet in front of the HC with your bikes, and we will pick up where we left off this week with David Campos taking us downtown to do a presentation on the Lubbock tornado.
