Fri 9/28 (S): Re-read/review “The Red Convertible," thinking about the following question:
"Why does Lyman release the car into the river?"
Please don't discuss your answer with other students.
Please do a 300-word freewrite on "The Red Convertible" that you'll post on Canvas (link not yet active)
By "freewrite," I mean just jot down ideas about the question without worrying about grammar, spelling, etc. The goal is to write quickly and fluidly--just "vomit" ideas out onto the screen.
Don't use bullet points; write in sentences (but the sentences don't have to be good)
You can use dictation software if you'd like to experiment
Time for assignment: 30-40 minutes (no more!)

Please look at the beginning of Book 1, but don't feel you have to read more than a couple pages. I intend for this homework assignment to be light. You'll finish reading Book 1 next Monday.
Please bring the book to class.
