Hand in your cause/effect paper or email it to me by midnight tonight. Look for a return email that verifies that I received your paper. If you do not receive verification by Friday morning, send it again.
No further class today, except your completion of your cause/effect essay.
Bring books on Monday--we will begin seriously discussing comparison/contrast, with the discussion of two sculptures, The Kiss by Rodin and Love by Indiana. Even those of us who do not have a book can look these up on the internet.
We will discuss the structure of comparison/contrast papers (there are 2 different ways to organize these essays) and look at the organization of the student essay in the introduction to the unit on comparison/contrast. Also, we will look at the structure in "Grant and Lee: A Study in Contrasts" by Bruce Catton.
For next Wednesday, you'll be reading "Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior" by Amy Chua--and we will discuss this controversial essay.
