Assignment 6: Sam Clay

Prompt 1: If you could go back to the past for a week, what time and place would you travel to and why?

Prompt 2: What is your dream job? Why does this occupation interest you?

Prompt 3: What is your favorite book and why?


Prompt 3: My favorite book is A Fan's Notes by Frederick Exley. This book is a semi-fictional memoir that follows Exley through much of his life. The way he describes the events paints a very dark picture of a man who realizes that he will never succeed above being a "fan" in life. He slowly loses his hopes of being famous or leading the life he often dreams of. While not an uplifting book, A Fan's Notes is an interesting read because of the way Exley explores those events in his life that most shaped him and informed his worldview.
