Professor will share information about authors, etc.  You should begin your research right away,  and read the book BEFORE we begin this section, so you will understand the lectures. You can use your notes in your essay, but it is better to find your own information. You can discuss author's biography, his/her stories, current events and attitudes of his/her times, historical perspectives, position in society, and anything else that shed light on his writing. You may quote from his movies, tv shows, and comments you find, and from what others have said of these authors and their ideas.  All sources must be researchable.
