TODAY IN CLASS
We did not quite finish discussing "Araby."  What you should do tonight is cinch your own understanding of how the long day of waiting for his uncle and the late arrival at the bazaar affect the boy and pave the way for what happens at the end.  Focus on the last paragraph as the finale to what the first paragraph began.  Is the last paragraph the "inverse" of the opening paragraph, or is it a consistent completion of the imagery?

FOR TOMORROW
Actually, you will have until Wednesday to read "The Rocking-Horse Winner," the D. H. Lawrence story that I announced at the end of class today (pp. 311-325).

 But it is fairly long, there will be some additional reading assigned tomorrow ("Point of View," Ch. 5, pp. 253-259).  So you might want to get started.

P.S.
1. I am assuming that you HAVE read the "Characterization" material assigned late last week. If not, do that as well.
2. Several AP students are among the 30 or so of my students who have not turned in the Culminating Project.  Take care of this before they start sending  the call slips.
