Daily Update
The bulk of this morning's class was dedicated to giving you time in groups to sort out some of the key characters in Amy Tan's "Two Kinds" and Alice Walker's "Everyday Use." Both are compelling stories with interesting, complex characters, so no matter which you choose you should have plenty to say.
Remember that the first draft of the Character Analysis essay is due in class on Wednesday. Also, remember to bring two copies of your essay to class. Two. Yes, two copies. If you have any questions as you proceed with your draft, please email me. You're also welcome to visit the writing center.
As you proceed with your essay draft, I want to remind you to read carefully the story you choose. This is your opportunity to show how well you're reading and analyzing. Make sure that when you choose a character that you read the story carefully, noting every reference to your chosen character, being careful not to miss key details. You can do this!
Homework Reminder
I'll say it again: Your essay draft is due on Wednesday. Bring TWO copies of your essay!
