EWRT1A sections 27 and 65: back from break

Grammar Review 4 is due Tuesday.

• The first draft of essay 3 is also due. I expect these to be pretty rough, so try to have something,. Though obviously, the more you have the better use it will be.

• Keep up your reading of Fun Home. Don't fall behind!

• Someone asked me to put up the research topics for the reading groups. I suggested these topics to help you understand some of the allusions Bechdel is making in Fun Home. Also, the act of doing research and saying how it relates to the primary text is preparation for writing a research paper, which you will do if you take EWRT 1B. Anyway, here are the research topics: chapter 1, Icarus and Daedalus; chapter 2, Camus and "The Myth of Sisyphus"; chapter 3, Fitzgerald and The Great Gatsby; chapters 4 & 5, the Stonewall Riots; chapter 6, Oscar Wilde and The Importance of Being Earnest; chapter 7, James Joyce and Ulysses.
