Read "The Gift", then tell me if there is such a thing as a free gift.
This essay is available on the course OASIS page. Your blog posts can be very dynamic: you can talk about the essay, you can talk about your own life, you can talk about rituals.
Again: each blog assignment is worth 6 participation points. If you don't do the blog assignment, then you get 0 out of 6 points. If you put in extra work into the blog, e.g. commenting on other people's posts, then this will earn you points towards your overall class participation grade.
If this isn't clear to you, then you can email with questions or bring them to me during class.

I think there are some, but very few "free" gifts. Most gifts, even between family members or people who love each other are still given with a motive...not that that's a bad thing. A motive could be to make someone happy with you. I think the one time a "gift" could be considered completely free would be if someone died for someone else, because they would have no motivation, exceptionally if the two people weren't freiends or family.
