Day 11 / 106 - “I, Pencil”


We assigned our son the 1958 essay I, Pencil for one of his fall literature assignments along with several reflection questions about the essay.  If you are unfamiliar, the essay is written in the first person from the point of view of the pencil detailing the complexity of its own creation.  It hits on the idea that the economy consists of many separate parts working together in harmony.

You can read the entire essay here.
