Hi Class,

I hope that each of you gained something from our discussion of the first page and the peer review. Continue to work diligently on the essay. Use your classmates for their knowledge! Trade essays and ask each other questions.

Try to be on time next Thursday; and have your essay printed and ready to turn in at 6:04.

The readings: I decided to post a short reading from John Dos Passos instead of Fitzgerald. I think this reading really hits a modernist note. It is the first chapter of the novel Manhattan Transfer. The chapter is titled “Ferryslip.” It is in Readings.

Cheers,

Prof. Scanlan
