Briefly posted today:
1) Final drafts of personal essay collected.  As you probably know, "Oct. 8" was the default for turnitin.com.  It should be online today, not next week! :)

2)

• Some wrap up thoughts on Elisa/Miss Brill as characters (what they know/understand by the end of the story vs at the beginning) 
• Some consideration of the "message" (vs "moral of the story") for readers.  What is the takeaway "meaning" of these two stories?  How similar?  How different?
• For ongoing consideration:  the protagonist's self-perception (nature and accuracy of their views of self); the protagonist's view of the world; the degree to which "society" is a factor in shaping self-perception and/or world view.

3) In 3rd, we looked closely at the first very short paragraph of "Araby" (p. 474).  I won't restate what we commented on, because 4th period, you need to read JUST the first paragraph and contemplate all the brilliant things you could say about it before moving on the the assignment for tomorrow.

SO, FOR TOMORROW
Read the entire story:  James Joyce's "Araby," pp. 434-439.
