f. Ursula LeGuin is also the author of "The Rule of Names," which some of you have read . If you read it and remember it, tell me in one sentence what it is about.
2. This story may be about more than the life of one fictional musician. It can read as an account of what many creative artists may go through. It may reflect the author's own life story as a writer. Choose a field of creative endeavor that you know something about--music, writing, dance, art, or some other field. Explain what you think the author may be saying to such people, and why you think so. Use complete sentences and standard English punctuation, grammar, and so on. (100 words or more)
3. Reread the description of the harp on p. 267--what it looks like and what it sounds like. Choose an object in your house that, like the harp, is both beautiful itself and a means of creating beauty. Explain in a creative paragraph written in the style of Ursula LeGuin. Use complete sentences and standard English punctuation, grammar, and so on. The length is up to you, but make it good and make it complete.
