Homework Assignment=="The Chrysanthemums"

TODAY IN CLASS
People started handing in personal essays; the cover sheets are in the basket. Fill it out and paper clip it to your essays before handing them in.  (This is not the same as the assignment sheets.)  I'll be opening turnitin.com as soon as I finish the blog.

We got to through to the rebuffing scene in 1st; in 5th, we just got to the point where the joking about the dogs reveals a new side of Elisa's character.  Everyone should have read the story in its entirety for today.  IF YOU DID NOT, do that before you even attempt the short writing assignment for tomorrow.

FOR TOMORROW
Study the two short paragraphs in which Elisa takes her bath and then gets dressed for the evening out. We are calling them, collectively, "the bathing scene." You are to write about 250 words, either neatly in ink or typed (double-spaced if typed). The prompt is straightforward: Discuss the significance of the bathing scene. [Note to 1st; yes, I said 3 paragraphs in class, but there's no reason to go ahead with the writing.  Focus on the bathing scene itself, and we'll pick up the aftermath later.
