1. This weekend, please read "The Book of the Grotesque" and "Hands" from Winesburg Ohio. You will find an online version of the book here. To find "The Book of the Grotesque" click on "Front Matter" and scroll down. Click on "Story" next to "Hands" for that story). TAKE NOTES and pay particular attention to the definition of grotesque Anderson gives in "The Book of the Grotesque" (It starts with "The old man had listed hundreds of truths... and ends with "...the truth he embraced became a falsehood"). That definition will guide our reading of the novel.
2. Targeted rewrite opportunity is attached below. These rewrites need to be turned in to me by Tuesday, January 7 without exception. I have d-hall duty on January 6, so I will not be available after school for help. I can answer questions via email if they come to me before noon on Saturday, 1/4.
