English 2201 American Literature 2 Spring 2014

Hi Class,

I’ve posted two pieces by Bierce under “Readings.” Please print them out, read them carefully, and bring them to class (along with two questions about them) for Thursday, Feb 6th.

Best,

Prof. Scanlan

Hi Class,

For Tuesday’s homework, please read Melville’s “Bartleby, The Scrivener.” Go to “Readings” and scroll down to the bottom. Please print out the story, read it carefully, take notes, and write Journal 1: Describe each of the characters in a paragraph and then write a paragraph in which you draw parallels between Bartleby’s world of 1853 and the business world of today (< 300 words). Please use the Journal Template–also in “Readings.”

Email me any questions.

Best wishes,

Prof. Scanlan

ps. Sorry about the Journal 1/Journal 2 mix up!
