Wash due Friday

Please read Faulkner's Wash and be prepared to discuss. Make sure to have an understanding of Faulkner's use of flashback.

Due Monday

Due Monday:Read "Flight" by Steinbeck.

(This story is available in your textbook, so the link is provided just in case you forgot to take your book home.)

If you were absent Friday, we also worked on the following stories in class. We have only discussed one so far, so we will be discussing "A Clean Well Lighted Place" in class on Monday as well as the Steinbeck piece.

"Hills like White Elephants" and "A Clean well-lighted Place."

WELCOME BACK!

For Thursday, please read the story "In Another Country" by Ernest Hemingway. (722-727).

Pay special attention to:

- The role of technology
- Existential elements (alienation, creation of essence, anxiety)
- Symbolism of characters

(In other words, if I ask a question about these topics in class, you should be able to point to specific quotations and add your own thoughts.)

Here is the complete text (I think) just in case you've forgotten your book. Just ignore the weird layout.

Verification Info for those who need it...

Your Verification Stack

You must have a photo copy for each quotation in your Research Paper.
They must be arranged in the same order they appear in your paper.
Remember, this will include both observation quotations (from Huck Finn) and your importance quotations (from critical sources).
If you use the same page for more than one quotation, you must have a copy of this page for every time a quotation from this page is used.
If a photo copy is missing, you must provide a piece of paper in its place that indicates it is missing. [ I do not have a copy of the Smith Quotation.]
You must highlight a quotation you have used directly.
You must draw a box around (in highlighter) a section you have paraphrased.
You must highlight the page number on the photocopy.
The stack must be stapled together with your name in a prominent location, but the stack is not stapled to your research paper!

Due 4/2

- Read chapters 5 and 6 of Gatsby.

Many of you still owe me the reading of "Jilting of Granny Weatherall" and "A Worn Path". Bring honor to yourself and your pod by getting caught up.

Remember, your Citation Outline is due on Monday. Check the link on the Research paper page for information. The first part of the document outlines how you will want to go through the process of narrowing down your quotations. A sample citation outline is the last part of the document. A condensed version is available below:


Citation Outline:

Observation: Huck is a vampire.
Importance: Twain criticizes mistreatment of African Americans.
POA: 1. Pap 2. Duke and the King

Thesis: Huck acts metaphorically as a vampire, sucking the life and prosperity out of other characters when it best suits him, and discarding them when he has the chance. By portraying Huck in this fashion, Twain draws a parallel between Huck and Southern society, and through Huck’s interactions with Pap and the Duke and the King, criticizes the South’s continued mistreatment of African-Americans.
