The Doctor


Hi Dr Rivera and my classmates! I hope everyone had a great weekend! This is my second blog for this week. Last Thursday we met at the moodle room and discussed about our thoughts on Mylonas’ essay.


This essay is based on "The Use of Force", a short story by William Carlos Willians. Told from the first-person point of view, it is a fictional account of a doctor making a house call to attend to a young girl. In writing about this story, Ajax Mylonas was intrigued by the way the central character struggled with two conflicts: one on the surface and one inside the mind. His writing process worksheet shows how his writing evoled from idea to final draft. He attached short quotations to his outline and then used them in his drafts.


The analysis by division was used to divide the subject (doctor) to two parts.


  • Subject - The Doctor

  • Principle - take care of patients

  • Division of Parts - the doctor's struggle with the girl, and the struggle with himself.

  • Discuss each part

I hope everyone has a great weekend and see you all online next week.
Best regards,
Hai, Zhan(Odin)
