Can't Figure Out What to Do?

Hey, all. There are two things to write for tomorrow. The first is the required blog entry below (or wherever it is on your screen). About half of you are there already. The other is The Awakening essay prompt, asking for two pages of "audition drafting" on a topic of your choosing. There are three listed in the posting in Essential Documents, and if the Blog writing turned up something else for you, or if you simply have an original topic you'd like to pursue, then there are more options. For the original ones, please run your idea by me. I don't want you to waste your time on a direction that doesn't work with the goals of the assessment. Those, simply put, are that you write an analysis of the novel which features a close reading of text at key moments. No "I" this time. You are making a persuasive argument about some aspect of the novel which is born out in specific text.
