Please turn in your homework (response to one story regarding characterization and one story regarding setting--see below)
Note the following:
1. Your Hemingway drafts (all four of them) are due today. Please turn them in by the end of class. Work not printed and turned in today will be considered late. Please put draft 4 on top, draft 3, 2, and 1 on the bottom. Paperclip the drafts together please.
2. The Nancy Thorp Poetry Contest deadline is today. Please consider submitting 1-2 poems (of the many that you wrote). You can get information about the contest at the link. Use this link to submit your poem when you have proofread and revised it.
3. Work on your portfolio. Revise your character story or Hemingway story concentrating on SETTING.
4. Read: Wilderness Tips (all stories) Today, for homework or in the lab, please read "Wilderness Tips" and "Hack Wednesday."
Homework: Complete Wilderness Tips. For one of these stories please answer: How does POV (Point of View) and verb tense affect the writing style of one of the two remaining stories. What does writing in present tense do to us as a reader. Why is Atwood using this tense form? How does Atwood use POV effectively in the story?
There will be a quiz on this book on Friday. Please complete the collection by then.
For those of you who cannot enter Nancy Thorp (Hollins University) Poetry contest (or those who can), check here for another opportunity. Oops, this a pay contest with an entrance fee. Don't do it.
