Invisible Cities

Due Wednesday, October 29, 2008
For the writing, please consider and respond to the following:

Working from both the reading and your memories, describe at least three of the cities Marco Polo discusses with Khan, and compare to cities that you know, have visited, read about, or feel an affinity towards. What unites these disparate places? What differences do they exhibit? Who populates them? How do you navigate them? What is their character, and how does your writing reflect that character? Do you need to use different types of writing to give the sense of each different place? Is one city defined through poetry while another needs to be interviewed? When do you gain familiarity with a city? Can you trust a city?
