Homework for Friday

For Friday, just to re-iterate, the assignment is to finish the questions we started in class, and to write down two questions for discussion. The first should be about "Wolf Alice," and should be associated with a passage (at least two sentences)from the story, which should be quoted as part of your question. The second question should be about an overall theme, or one encompassing two or more of the Carter stories. I would like for this question to concentrate on one of the fairy tale binaries we talked about on the first day of this unit: Man vs Woman, Man vs Beast, Forest vs Town, Innocent vs Wise, or another such relationship that you see in the stories. Alternatively,you could make a question about a symbol or theme you see in more than one story, such as the color red, eyes, or any repeated motif, and what you think it might mean, beyond the literal. Either way, the question should be associated with at least two passages from the text, which you should quote as part of your question.

Also, don't forget that revisions of the poetry paper are due next Wednesday.Be sure to have a revision worksheet filled out to turn in with the revision, as well as the original copy of the paper you are revising.

BTW - For this week and next, my Thursday office hour will be on Friday instead. I will be there from 9-10, and then from 11-12.
