Stream of Consciousness - 1 views

  Journal Prompt:
  
  We are steeped in the consciousness of Raskolnikov from the first page of the book as he describes his fears. As thought unfolds, it does so in a fluid fashion, not stopping to edit itself or reconsider. Once something is thought, it cannot be "un-thought." Dostoevsky writes in stream-of-consciousness when depicting Raskolnikov's thought process. In your journal entry for Friday, try on a stream-of-consciousness style. Think of fear. Start with what you're afraid of, or if you are fearless, think of something many people are afraid of or something that you think is absurd to fear. Write one sentence describing your topic. Go from there--keep adding sentences, fragments, etc. to your flow of writing. Write ANY and EVERY thought that comes to mind for the next 5 minutes. Where did you end up? Are you still thinking of fear, or was your last thought about something entirely different (e.g., unicorns)?
