 Introduction
This unit will guide you through personal responses to Annie Dillard's
Pulitzer Prize-winning book Pilgrim at Tinker Creek. As you travel
through each chapter of the work, you will find writing prompts based
on quotations from the book.
A few words of advice: You should have your copy of the text
with you as you complete the assignment packet. The writing prompts
will at times ask you to go back and re-read a section of the text.
Page numbers --of course-- will be supplied! They are keyed to the Harper
Perennial Edition (Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Edition) 1999 ISBN 0-06-095302-0.
(Click on the book cover to order the book from Amazon.com) You
should also have a couple of highlighters available-- several assignments
will require that you mark passages.
