Autobiography of a Face

Today's reading was a challenge for some.  Some were challenged because I simply asked them to read during 4th period.  But for others the challenge came from the content.  I started with a piece that cut right through the fluff and hit a lot of what it means to be human.  We all fear.  We all hurt.  We all need to belong.  We all need to feel loved.  I look forward to hearing how each of you respond to this piece.  If you're interested in reading about Lucy Grealy through the eyes of her best friend, check out this.  If you still want more, I encourage you to get your hands on Autobiography of a Face, Grealy's memoir.  Follow it up with her best friend's memoir about their friendship, Truth and Beauty by Ann Patchett.
