TODAY IN CLASS
1) Collected:  the personal essay prospectus.  Suggestion:  don't work on your essay tonight.  You'll get these back on Thursday.

2) Reading Check quiz on "The Jilting of Granny Weatherall"

3) Completion of "Miss Brill" (albeit abbreviated) in 1st and 3rd.  Close but not there yet in 6th.

FOR TOMORROW
Written work:  Write one page that applies the literary element that you were assigned for this story to "The Jilting of Granny Weatherall." Depending on element, some people will have to work hard to pack in the most essential information; you will need to be streamlined and concise. 
  • Typed work appreciated, but not required.  If you type, double-space.  If you don't, make it legible and reasonably neat (a cross-out or two OK--overall sloppiness is NOT)
  • Do not take up space with a 4-line double-spaced MLA heading.
The groups were listed in the hand-out you received on Friday.  However, they are re-stated here:
For  Porter’s “The Jilting of Granny Weatherall” (76 ff.)    (and 6th Compact pages for other sections)
A – Character  75-77
B – Setting  105-108
C --Tone and Style 138-141; also see Irony, 157-158
D –Theme  173-175
E – Symbol  189-191
F -- Point of View 25-29
