Post a semi-brief (2-3 paragraphs) response to one of the following prompts for the reading, and put it under category Reading Response 4.
- Is there a city that stood out, or that you found especially memorable? Why? Does any city remind you of a city you have lived in or visited, and if so, in what ways?
- Many cities are described in explicit detail—magnolia gardens, radiator pipes, facades, inhabitants—but some aspects are more abstract. How might these more conceptual details translate into a virtual environment and what we might do while there?
- In any given city, what role does time play? In what ways does the storyteller use time to convey an impression of the city?
