Good morning and happy Friday!

Writing on Friday should be slighlty more enjoyable and less academic.  Therefore, today we will be free-writing over your pet peeves.  Use your best descriptive writing to explain your pet peeve.

Our last topic of discussion was the hero's journey as we applied it to "Araby" by James Joyce.  Think back to other stories or books you have read or movies you have seen.  Where else have you noticed this archetype?  How is it manifested in each of these situations?
