In case you forgot or missed it, the due date for the final draft of essay 2 has been moved to Thursday, November 15th. As always, both drafts are required. So if you already turned in a first draft, hand it back in with your final draft. If you didn't turn in a rough draft, you are not exempt. You still need two complete drafts (drafts not copies) of essay 2.
And we're moving away from essays and on to fiction starting next week. First up is "No Name Woman." Many on-line sites call the story an autobiography, but that is not precisely true. The story is based on Maxine Hong Kingston's family, but things have been fictionalized. Because of this, in the academic study of literature, it is wrong to refer to the narrator of the story as Kingston herself. You should simply refer to her as "the narrator."
Also, the group presentations on Fun Home will start on the 15th. I'll show you the sign-up sheet on Tuesday.
