[00:00.00]NARRATOR: Listen to a conversation between a student and her creative writing professor.[00:08.11]FEMALE STUDENT: Hello. Professor Thomson. [00:09.65]Could I talk to you for a minute?[00:11.49]MALE PROFESSOR: Oh. Hi. Laura. [00:12.55]We missed you last class.[00:14.10]FEMALE STUDENT: Yeah. I was sick for a few days. [00:16.25]Um, I was wondering...did I miss a lot of work?[00:19.04]MALE PROFESSOR: Let's see...Well, we discussed the story that you have been assigned to read for class. [00:25.26]"A Memory," by Eudora Welty... [00:27.75]And... then... we listened to a recording of an interview with Welty. [00:32.18]The recording is on reserve at the library. [00:34.47]You'll need to listen to it. [00:36.02]So...did you have a chance to read the story?[00:39.35]FEMALE STUDENT: Yeah. I-I did.[00:41.89]MALE PROFESSOR: What did you think?[00:43.20]FEMALE STUDENT: Well, I was a little surprised... [00:46.45]I mean...the first time I read it, anyway.[00:48.88]MALE PROFESSOR: What surprised you?
[00:50.12]FEMALE STUDENT: You know, it just seemed like there was nothing going on in the story. [00:54.66]I mean, a girl is just sitting at the beach thinking about one of her memories. [00:58.93]And at the same time, she is watching other bathers on the beach, and sort of just thinking about what they are doing too. [01:06.00]And that's all that happens! [01:08.50]So at the end of the story, I thought, that's it?![01:11.73]MALE PROFESSOR: I know what you mean. [01:13.48]There's no surprise ending like in O. Henry't story The Gift of the Magi or some big adventure like in Faulkner's The Bear. [01:22.97]So you didn't like the story?[01:26.16]FEMALE STUDENT: Well, actually, while I was reading it the second time, I sort of realized that you don't need surprises or excitement to have a great story. [01:34.48]The girl's memory and the stuff she was thinking about while she was watching the other people on the beach were really interesting to read about. [01:41.95]And you know, it made me think that when I write my story, the one we have to write for this class, I can maybe use my own memories to get me started.[01:51.00]MALE PROFESSOR: Well, in fact, I'd hoped you'd see that. [01:54.24]Of course, there are many levels to the story. [01:58.07]But what I really wanted the class to take away from it was that you don't need to write about the great exciting world when you write you stories. [02:06.84]Even writing about a memory can work.[02:10.12]FEMALE STUDENT: Like I could write about one of the times I took a walk in the woods when I was a kid.[02:13.85]MALE PROFESSOR: Exactly! You know, as the due day of your stories approaches, I am hearing from a lot of students that they are worried because they don't have anything exciting enough to write about. [02:24.53]But Welty said in the interview we listened to and in her autobiography that her worst stories were the ones where she tried to write about people or places that were unfamiliar to her. [02:37.04]That's why a lot of her stories are set in Mississippi, where she is from. [02:40.92]Welty stressed that, for her anyway, familiarity with her subject matter was the key to a successful story.[02:48.54]FEMALE STUDENT: Familiarity. [02:50.13]That makes sense. [02:51.57]Thanks Professor Thomson.[02:53.24]MALE PROFESSOR: No problem. [02:54.42]Now, don't forget to listen to that recording.
