Your next essay is to analyze AT LEAST TWO of the texts we used in class (the short stories, the lyrics to the love songs, or the movie) to examine what love and/or friendship is or means.  You will need to CITE from TWO OF THE TEXTS I have provided to you and also at least TWO outside texts.  Please include direct quotes and have a clear thesis or argument around which to frame your essay.  You need not have experience with romantic love to be able to analyze texts about friendship and love!!  You may share personal narrative, but any personal anecdotes should advance your analysis rather than be the focus of your essay.  Your last essay should be a minimum of 850 words and must include direct quotes "The light from the window behind Lena outlined the curve of her cheek with a silver line, like a new moon" (Kingsolver 62) and a works cited section at the end of your essay. 

Please consider starting your draft now, so that we may conference on Wednesday!  I will create a sign-up sheet for conferences!

Wednesday 4/25:
We will be posting to the blog.  In order to do so, please bring a photo (an original photo taken with your phone or other camera) of something around campus or Boston or NYC or wherever you may be that allows you to take an artistic photo.  You are all quite capable of this!  You will be posting the image with your blog entry (and I will explain more in class on Wednesday).  After we finish discussing, and posting to the blog, you will start your module 4 drafts.  WE WILL DO THIS INSTEAD OF ANOTHER MINI MOVIE!!

There will also be time to write and conference with me.  You will sign-up for one on one conferences with me on Wednesday for your drafts.  I will be doing very little "line editing" on your next essays on "love" or "friendship". 

Draft due on Friday 4/27 (not 4/25 like it says on the syllabus).

Monday 4/29:  Last day to conference with me.  Course evaluations.

Wednesday 5/1:  Last class.  Essay 4 due.  Dinner?

Monday 5/6:  one page reflection piece due via google docs!
