Chapter one reminded me of my youth and how excited I used to get going to the public library (I even had a sensory memory where the smell came to me.) Le Guin states that when you are a child language is playful, fun and easy to fall in love with. I agree because that was my experience. This reading reminded me to not take (every single thing) I write so seriously. It should be an enjoyable experience. When we grow up, there is a societal concept that play is for children, and yet we do find ways to play as adults. It makes sense to incorporate this idea into writing since it is a creative act and creating scenarios, characters, drawings, colorings, etc. is what we do as forms of play in youth. Alliteration, onomatopoeia and repetitions are playful and useful tools that i forgot were options.
As far as 1/3 1/3 1/3 went, I understand the importance of reading it right after covering how important character development is, character names, dialect.
