Group Progress
We have begun the whole process, beginning with the first of our posts and annotations of one of our articles.
AoD#5: Halloween's Mediation
Art of Democracy
The other day, my family gathered for a scene of creative conflict. It was over the issue of my brother and his rentals via the DVR.
The conversations weren't altogether that beautiful, with my brother roughly discouraging all forms of ideas we put on him - mostly working to pay for the things he does - as we poked and prodded him to get moving with his life. Partway through the discussion, we were interupted because he simply walked away, leaving no conclusion to our negotiation.
So, although we prompted for negotiations in the form of creative conflict, we reached no solution that my brother would accept.
We eventually brought in a young women, Umeko who had no biases beyond her own experiences, talked my brother into changing, if only for a little while.

Patriot/Loyalist Essay Plan
Plan:
- write down strengths and weakness of being either patriot or loyalist
- Create basal ideas "chunks" of individual letter on which to write around
- Revise original drafts until fit accordingly with conversation and rhythm:
Characters:
- close relationship: co-workers
- both New England merchants - conflict felt greatly (as in trade, economics, etc.)
Format: Blog/Comment
Each focus on one thing per blog; i.e. Stamp Act posted in the patriot blog, comment by loyalist of the Stamp Act; but, no repetitions of the events/focal points in the loyalist blog.
