Hi Class,

I hope that you are having a wonderful break. As a reminder, please have Journal 5 ready upon our return on April 24th. Read Ellison (pages 1157-1169) and write 300 words on Ellison’s use of experimental language. Consider, especially, what is odd and what you think is normal for a story of this type.

Best,

Prof. Scanlan
