On Wednesday, we’ll discuss Jennifer Egan’s essay, “Reading Lucy” from the collection Brooklyn Was Mine. Everyone received a copy in class.

Write a blog post about “Reading Lucy” by the end of Tuesday. In your post, consider any of the following:

• how does the essay represent Egan’s story of how she learned about history?
• what is Egan’s relationship to Lucy, and how does it develop?
• how has Egan conveyed Lucy’s story?

We will discuss these questions in class, and will look at how Egan incorporates her research into her essay.

Good luck preparing for your speeches!
