For homework this week, I’m asking you to NOT WRITE A POST!
Instead, I’m asking that you write comments in reply to my post about Quicksand, and comments in reply to my post about The Bell Jar. These comments will serve as a conversation to help us wrap up our discussion of Quicksand, and to get us started with The Bell Jar.
In class on Thursday, we’ll split the time between the two novels. We’ll also talk briefly about two upcoming events:
*the Literature Roundtable, which is an event designed to bring together students and faculty to discuss a shared reading, Lynn Nottage’s Intimate Apparel. It’s on Wednesday, April 9, at 11:30am in N119. Anyone who attends and blogs about it on our site will receive extra credit.
and
*the Literary Arts Festival, which is on Thursday, April 10, at 5:30pm, in the Midway Auditorium, 240 Jay Street (the entrance next to where you go for our class), featuring poet Cornelius Eady and his band, Rough Magic. As with the Literature Roundtable, anyone who attends and blogs about it on our site will receive extra credit.
