Homework: REMEMBER, WE DO NOT HAVE CLASS AT ALL NEXT WEEK. SO, HOMEWORK IS DUE MONDAY SEPT. 13:

Read the handout on Gothic Definitions and “Young Goodman Brown” by Hawthorne and  “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Gilman (all are in the Readings menu tab), then write Coffeehouse #2: 300 words on which of the six stories that we have read so far you liked the best and why––See my post in Coffeehouse #2 for more details.

So far, we have read:

“The Captive”

“A Story Told to Me by a Friend”

“The Black Cat”

“The Lottery”

“Young Goodman Brown”

“The Yellow Wallpaper”

 

Best wishes and enjoy the break,

Prof. Scanlan
