Good afternoon,
I hope you are feeling more confident about analysis. Our work with Gary Soto's essay brought you to realize that the outcome of the story was not going to be good.
Do expect an in-class writing following Thanksgiving. You want to keep the Steinbeck works current (know those characters) and Soto's work as well. I am interested in how you are able to define, with example, the following terms: ill-luck, misfortune, catastrophe, fate, calamity). Do expect me to ask you about the works and about how a character meets one of these terms. It will be important for you to make a claim; support that claim with evidence, and explain your evidence.
