  Professor Ronald Hewes : [lecturing to class]  In Thomas Paine's Common Sense, the same incident is related by a group of observers. But where Paine uses the obvious disparities in the descriptions of the incident to make an anti-religious argument, I am more concerned here with the reporting of the incident as it affects a phase of creative writing. I am concerned with the sometimes unbridgeable gulf between what we see, what we remember, and what we subsequently commit to writing.
