Week 11

This Week

The week we'll be reading two stories by James Joyce: "Araby" (187-190) on Monday, and "Eveline" (191-193) on Wednesday. On Friday we will discuss both stories. Please read both stories closely, and come to class prepared to discuss them.

Journal Activity


In three or four paragraphs of informal writing answer this question: "How is James Joyce's 'Araby' like his 'Eveline'"?

"Informal writing" does not mean that you shouldn't use full sentences and correct punctuation and spelling, it only means that you should not worry about tone or about structuring your answer into a formal argument.

Looking Ahead to Next Week
For next Monday please come to class having read John Steinbeck's "The Chrysanthmums", from page 214 of our text book.
