Your Final Paper

This week, there is no response due on "The Misfits." Instead, you are required to post the first paragraph of your final paper (including a thesis statement), although I'll give you until Wednesday to post. I will grade it as though it were a response essay.

You will have another vocab quiz on Wednesday as well, so study up!

"Shiloh"

Post your response to "Shiloh" below.

Also, remember that the 9am class will meet this Wednesday and Friday in the Higgins Lecture Room (the same place as Monday's class).  The 8am class will meet in the normal Berkshire classroom.

(And at time I'm writing this, only five people have posted a response to the essays on "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?" This was due today!)

"The Story of a Scar"

There is no response due this week on "The Story of a Scar." Instead, your homework is to read two critical articles on Joyce Carol Oates's "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been." You may want to re-read the story before you read the two articles. Both of these articles are available through the MLA International Bibliography, one of the library's databases. After you've read the articles, post a SHORT response below (about one paragraph for each article, for two paragraphs total). This post is not due until Monday, to give you some extra time to complete the assignment.

"The Shadow of a Satyr in Joyce Carol Oates's 'Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been" by Joan Easterly

"Joyce Carol Oates's 'Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?' As Pure Realism" by A.R. Coulthard
