Due Thursday: We will finally talk about "Franklin and the Gout." You may need to (re)read this passage in preparation for the discussion. Please note that although we will not discuss Franklin's autobiography much, we will mention it in class on Friday. It is also required reading for Unit 1 and is something you will need to get read. Therefore, it would be a good idea if you have it read for Friday.
