Assignment for Wednesday, October 23, 2019

OK, so I would normally now have assigned up to the end of Chapter 28. 

But to honor my side of the bargain, just get to the end of Chapter 26.  But really know it.

We started to get back on the rails today, and I was really glad for that.  We have some great stuff to think about coming up. 


(There is a small chance that I'll be out on Friday.  But I'll keep you posted about that.)

Read to the end of Chapter 20. Also, I know that we did lean heavily on our reading in today's discussion, but the part about how we're always announcing things about who we are, on all channels, is really important.  We like to think that we are always in control of our own identity, but a lot of it has to do who other people take us to be.  (Hayley Mills, from the 1961 Parent Trap:  HERE .  You should really watch it.  It is not at all sentimental or soppy, like the (several) remakes. Cowboy Bebop, Episode 1.  (This is probably about... PG-13?   just fyi.)  HERE . )

Assignment for Friday, August 30

1)  Read and take careful notes on Twain's "On the Decay of the Art of Lying."  It's not that long. You can find it online HERE . 2)  Type up and bring to class a short answer to this question:  Is Twain right about lying, and what makes you think so?  (Single spaced, less than a full page.) 3)  Plan for printer failure.   Get it done and finished early.  As you know from the syllabus, I won't accept late assignments .  And they are worth points on your final grade. 4)  Also, make a careful note of the address of this blog.  I will post information and announcements here, and we'll use it to comment and share thoughts. ((((((THe reformer story)))))))
