TODAY IN CLASS
All personal essay revisions are due next week--dates vary:
Mon/Tues. if Oct.15 Early Action/Decision deadline: Wed/Thurs. if not)
Full hand-outs available tomorrow.

Moving on to James Joyce:
30-plus minutes on how many elements of fiction are covered in the first two paragraphs of "Araby," which are ostensibly setting.  Fusion--not discrete analysis--was the goal of the day.  More of that tomorrow.  (Expect several further passages for close scrutiny, but we'll have to skip over some other very good stuff.)

Some new voices spoke up today--hooray!

FOR TOMORROW
The gentle reminder that you are responsible for your own learning . . . don't wait for sticks.
By the end of the week (I think that's Friday . . .) you should be well-versed in ALL of the intro sections on the elements, and make sure that you've read the summary sections added earlier this week.
