Hi all,
Great discussion today. I wish we had more time to cover Scibona. I wanted to talk about his structure and his writing style in the second half of the piece. Also, why does he mention so many of the great (and dead) authors that he read at St. Johns? What is his purpose in listing so many of them? Let’s take a few minutes next Thursday to discuss these questions.
HOMEWORK:
- Print out and carefully read Keller, Malcolm X, and Thiong’O (I suggest that you take margin notes and write down any questions that you have)
- Write a 250-word journal in which you answer this question: which of these three essays is your favorite and why? Use the Standard Journal Format found in the Readings menu tab.
If you have any questions, feel free to email me.
Best,
Prof. Scanlan
