For Tuesday, Sept 20
Finish 1984, and write a 1-2 page short paper that, if you like, could be an extension of your in-class writing today. You might consider any or all of these questions: What do you make of the novel as a whole? What, to you, is it about? What interests you most in it? What is your overall attitude about it? Which passages help to illustrate your point (include page numbers). Your paper should be informal but clear writing, as though you're writing the class a letter. You could focus on the novel as a whole, or zero in on one particular idea/character/concept in it. Make it personal, growing out of your own particular reading. There's no right answer, other than whatever thoughts grow out of YOUR reading of the novel. Post the paper on your blog, and read others'. Also bring a hard copy of your paper to class. Consult Alyssa or me if you have questions.
