WHERE WE'VE BEEN
All sections have now completed all parts of the 1984 assessment:

• A short "pure objective" test
• Several written questions on aspects of the novel
• A non-fiction reading/writing section:  newspaper article and argumentative response

If you have not finished any one of these, please try to come in tomorrow morning (after 9--there's a faculty event earlier).  You can't come tomorrow afternoon; there's a faculty meeting.  No make-ups Thursday or Friday; I will be gone.

Also--there are a few people who have not yet submitted last Thursday's assignment (due no later than this past Sunday night, online only!).  I have created a "post-deadline" folder--at this point, I think all submissions are "late" vs. absence-related, but a late paper will still carry some credit through this week.  So GET THAT IN.  Instructions and links are in the post for Thursday, May 2.

TODAY IN CLASS

We set up and then read Elizabeth Bowen's "The Demon Lover" (p. 1228).  We discussed the ambiguity of the title, and I asked you to stay alert for further ambiguity within the story itself.

There will probably be some quick accountability at the start of class.

FOR TOMORROW

If you finished the story in class, that's great--no other homework.

If you did not, access it online and finish reading it.
