Please visit a person that is unwell - sick and/or dying in a hospital, senior home, or elsewhere. You could choose to visit a family member, friend, neighbor, acquaintance, or stranger.
What do you notice about the situation, about the person's approach to being unwell, about your own reactions and thoughts? What social conditions helped to construct this situation? What aspects of this situation simply result from human vulnerability and mortality?
What insights from the book, movies, and/or guest speaker apply to the situation of the person you're visiting?
Please write a 3-5 paragraph narrative account and analysis of your visit. Please maintain the privacy of the person you visit (unless they say otherwise) by leaving them anonymous and with no easily identifiable descriptions. Your goal should be to write an engaging and well-crafted TRUE STORY of the visit with lucid and sharp insights about dominant practices of illness & dying embedded in the story.
Due Saturday, January 1, at 9pm.
