Reading for Wed., 6/3:

I would like to skip(!) over Thomas Mann and have us read both Frank O'Connor and James Thurber for Wednesday's class. This was not mentioned in class, so I will do my best to remind students throughout the rest of today, and by e-mail.

Sincerely, Chris : )

Reading for Friday, May 29th:

Read Edwidge Danticat and Jamaica Kincaid for Friday, May 29th! 

This means we are skipping over Ellison and Wright! You may still include these two writers in your next Mimicking assignment, to be handed out at a later date.

Your final Reader Response (#4), will be handed out on Friday, and be due on Monday, as to give you a brief analytical writing break!

Reading for Monday, 5/18 and RR#2 announcement

For Monday, 5/18: Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis"

On Monday you will be assigned Reader Response #2, which will ask you for a response to a question on symbolism in Tim O'Brien's "The Things They Carried." 

Reader Response #3 will be assigned shortly after, so that we are getting a good amount of critical writing done for the improvement of our analytical eyes!
