1. How would you describe Jake?
2. Why do you think the author used the word love in the title?

Jake slouched in a clot of near motionless traffic, in the peculiar gray of concrete, smog, and early morning beneath the overpass of the Hollywood Freeway on Alvarado Street. He didnt really mind because he knew how much worse it could be trying to make a left onto the onramp. He certainly didnt do that every day of his life, and hed assure anyone whod ask that he never would either. A steady occupation had its advantages and he couldnt deny thinking about that too. He needed an FM radio in something better than this 58 Buick he drove. It would have crushed velvet interior with electric controls for the L.A. summer, a nice warm heater and defroster for the winter drives at the beach, a cruise control for those longer trips, mellow speakers front and rear of course, windows that hum closed, snuffing out that nasty exterior noise of freeways. The fact was that hed probably have to change his whole style. Exotic colognes, plush, dark nightclubs, maitais and daiquiris, necklaced ladies in satin gowns, misty and sexy like in a tequila ad. Jake could imagine lots of possibilities when he let himself, but none that ended up with him pressed onto a stalled freeway.

Jake was thinking about this freedom of his so much that when he glimpsed its green light he just went ahead and stared bye bye to the steadily employed. When he turned his head the same direction his windshield faced, it was maybe one second too late. He pounced the brake pedal and steered the front wheels away from the tiny brakelights but the smack was unavoidable. Just one second sooner and it would only have been close. One second more and hed be crawling up the Toyotas trunk. As it was, it seemed like only a harmless smack, much less solid than the one against his back bumper.

Jake considered driving past the Toyota but was afraid the traffic ahead would make it too difficult. As he pulled up against the curb a few carlengths ahead, it occurred to him that the traffic might have helped him get away too. He slammed the car door twice to make sure it was closed fully and to give himself another second more, then toured front and rear of his Buick for damage on or near the bumpers. Not an impressionable scratch even in the chrome. He perked up. Though the cars beauty was secondary to its ability to start and move, the body and paint were clean except for a few minor dings. This stood out as one of his few clearcut accomplishments over the years.

Before he spoke to the driver of the Toyota, whose looks he could see might present him with an added complication, he signaled to the driver of the car that hit him, still in his car and stopped behind the Toyota, and waved his hands and shook his head to let the man know there was no problem as far as he was concerned. The driver waved back and started his engine.

It didnt even scratch my paint, Jake told her in that way of his. So how you doin? Any damage to the car? Im kinda hoping so, just so it takes a little more time and we can talk some. Or else you can give me your phone number now and I wont have to lay my regular b.s. on you to get it later.

He took her smile as a good sign and relaxed. He inhaled her scent like it was clean air and straightened out his less than new but not unhip clothes.

Youve got Florida plates. You look like you must be Cuban.

My parents are from Venezuela.

My names Jake. He held out his hand.

Mariana.

They shook hands like shed never done it before in her life.

I really am sorry about hitting you like that. He sounded genuine. He fondled the wide dimple near the cracked taillight. Its amazing how easy it is to put a dent in these new cars. Theyre so soft they might replace waterbeds soon. Jake was confused about how to proceed with this. So much seemed so unlikely, but there was always possibility. So maybe we should go out to breakfast somewhere and talk it over.

I dont eat breakfast.

Some coffee then.

Thanks, but I really cant.

Youre not married, are you? Not that that would matter that much to me. Im an openminded kinda guy.

She was smiling. I have to get to work.

That sounds boring.

I better get your drivers license, she said.

Jake nodded, disappointed. One little problem, he said. I didnt bring it. I just forgot it this morning. Im a musician, he exaggerated greatly, and, well, I dunno, I left my wallet in the pants I was wearing last night. If you have some paper and a pen Ill give you my address and all that.

He followed her to the glove compartment side of her car.

What if we dont report it to the insurance companies? Ill just get it fixed for you.

I dont think my dad would let me do that.

Your dad? Its not your car?

He bought it for me. And I live at home.

Right. She was slipping away from him. He went back around to the back of her new Toyota and looked over the damage again. There was the trunk lid, the bumper, a rear panel, a taillight.

You do have insurance? she asked, suspicious, as she came around the back of the car.

Oh yeah, he lied.

I guess you better write the name of that down too.

He made up a last name and address and wrote down the name of an insurance company an old girlfriend once belonged to. He considered giving a real phone number but went against that idea and made one up.

I act too, he lied to enhance the effect more. Been in a couple of movies.

She smiled like a fan.

So how about your phone number? He was rebounding maturely.

She gave it to him.

Mariana, you are beautiful, he said in his most sincere voice.

Call me, she said timidly.

Jake beamed. Well see you, Mariana, he said holding out his hand. Her hand felt so warm and soft he felt like hed been kissed.

Back in his car he took a moment or two to feel both proud and sad about his performance. Then he watched the rear view mirror as Mariana pulled up behind him. She was writing down the license plate numbers on his Buick, ones that hed taken off a junk because the ones that belonged to his had expired so long ago. He turned the ignition key and revved the big engine and clicked into drive. His sense of freedom swelled as he drove into the now moving street traffic, though he couldnt stop the thought about that FM stereo radio and crushed velvet interior and the new car smell that would even make it better.

Touchstone 2.1: Evaluate a Source
ASSIGNMENT: For this essay, you will select one of the sources you have found through your preliminary research about your research topic. Which source you choose is up to you; however, it should be substantial enough that you will be able to talk about it at length, and intricate enough that it will keep you (and your reader) interested.

In order to foster learning and growth, all essays you submit must be newly written specifically for this course. Any recycled work will be sent back with a 0, and you will be given one attempt to redo the Touchstone.

The introduction of this paper will involve introducing the source: Provide the author, the title, and the context (where you found the source, where it was originally published, who sponsored it, etc.)

You will then go on to evaluate the source on two levels:
Credibility: Using the information in this unit as a guide, evaluate the sources authenticity and reliability. Look at all the information that you can find about the source to establish the authors (or sponsors) trustworthiness.
Usefulness: Using a combination of summary and analysis, examine the source on a critical level. Determine what the sources purpose (thesis) is, and how it arrives at that goal. Examine its value to you and the project you are working on. How will it help you prove your own points? How might it come in handy to back up a claim (or address a counter-claim)?
Finally, you will include a conclusion which shows your final assessments on both counts.
