1. Discussion Do you believe that your essence lives on in what you once made or owned? Why or why not? What do you believe your possessions say about you?
2. Journal How does this essay make you feel about the possessions you have accumulated? Will it make any difference in what you do with your accumulated possessions in the future?
3. Essay Jarrett says that “most children have an unusually intense relationship with a specific ‘attachment object,’ usually a favorite blanket or soft toy.” Reflect on your childhood and try to remember what your favorite toy or “attachment object” was. Write an essay in which you describe this object, explain how your attachment to it developed, and include a story or two about it.
