Read twice and annotate Linda Hogan's "Hearing Voices" and Diane Ackerman's "We Are all A Part of Nature."
1. What is the point of Hogan's essay? That is, what does she want readers to take away from it?
2. Hogan connects ideas and real-world things that we might not usually connect. Identify two such connections that she makes between things we don't usually connect. Are those connections convincing to you? Why or why not?
3. On what points might Hogan and Ackerman agree?
4. On what points might they disagree?
5. Ackerman refers to personal experiences in her essay. What effect does it have on the essay for her to include those personal experiences?
6. Pick at least one sentence—from each essay—that stands out for you and retype it.
We'll go over, as well, the sentences you chose from the Malcolm X and Frederick Douglass essays.
