Advice from Dear Sugar Part 3

/in /by

read the last third of Tiny Beautiful Things by
Cheryl Strayed (a.k.a., “Dear Sugar”) https://www.bookspdf4free.com/wp-content/uploads/2…, and you should have somewhat
solidified your opinion of how reliable or trustworthy she is as an
advice columnist. For your initial post this week, select one of the
letters listed below to analyze and/or discuss:

  • The Ghost Ship That Didn’t Carry Us, pp. 241-248 *Your Invisible Inner Terrible Someone, pp. 249-252 *Waiting by the Phone, pp. 253-256 *We Are All Savages Inside, pp. 257-263 *The Lusty Broad, pp. 264-267 *The Bad Things You Did, pp. 268-273 *Bend, pp. 274-276 *The Obliterated Place, pp. 277-286 *A Bit of Sully in Your Sweet, pp. 289-298 *We Are Here to Build the House, pp. 299-303 *The Empty Bowl, pp. 304-311 *Transcend, pp. 312-316 *A Shimmering Slice of Your Mysterious Destiny, pp. 317-319 * The Ordinary Miraculous, pp. 320-323 *We Call This a Clusterfuck, pp. 324-334 * Are You My Mother?, pp. 335-337 *Ten Angry Boys, pp. 338-349 *Tiny Beautiful Things, pp. 350-353

Explain whether
or not you think that the advice Strayed gave to the letter-writer was
good advice. What did she say that was correct? Incorrect? What about
her message to the writer was appropriate or inappropriate? Did she
cover all of the concerns or issues that the writer had? What else could
she have said? What advice would you have given that would differ from
what Strayed gave? These kinds of questions could prove to be helpful in
writing your final exam impromptu/timed essay.

Remember, as always, that picking one of the very short responses
that she gave does not necessarily mean that your post will be easier to
write. Your initial post should probably be at least 5-7 sentences
long–a good, solid paragraph.

Please be sure to include the title of the letter/response in your
Initial Post so that your classmates and I will have an easier time
discerning which one you’ve chosen to discuss.
