SUMMARY:You Are a Story: Memoir & Illinois Novelists
DESCRIPTION:The big questions we all ask at some point in our lives Who am I? Why am I here? What does it all mean? are often explored though philosophy\, poetry and psychology. This workshop examines how writing memoirs\, telling our own stories and recording our lives can help us search for those same answers. Drawing inspiration from two Illinois novelists\, Ray Bradbury and Ernest Hemingway\, well see how even fiction can be deeply autobiographical and how their approaches to storytelling can guide us in writing our own. This Illinois Humanities Road Scholar Program by Aaron J. Lawler is divided into three interactive parts: personal identity\, reflections becoming reality and learning as transformation. Isle a la Cache Museum is an accessible facility. Illinois Humanities is a statewide nonprofit organization that activates the humanities through free public programs\, grants and educational opportunities that spark conversation\, foster reflection\, build community and strengthen civic engagement for everyone in Illinois. Founded in 1974\, it is the state partner for the National Endowment for the Humanities and supported by state\, federal and private funds. Ages 18 and older. Registration required by Thursday\, Nov. 12: 815-722-9301.
