Hi all,

We are now in the last third of what has been a semester of very hard work coupled with juggling new challenges we couldn’t have imagined facing a year ago. I hope you have had a chance to catch your breath a bit last week before the final push. 

General Announcements & Events

• I have finished grading the essays. Please let me know if you’d like to revise yours for a better grade. 
• I would like to hold a discussion session this week regarding Benito Cereno. This is completely voluntary, and I will record it. Here are the meeting times:
  • Section 0881: Wednesday, Nov. 11th @ 1:00PM
  • Section 0883: Thursday, Nov. 12th @ 1:00PM

Upcoming Work

• Read: Finish Benito Cereno by Herman Melville, Part 3
• Respond: Blog post #6
• Annotate Benito Cereno: By the end of the story new things about each of the novella’s main characters are revealed. Find two places where we begin to see characters in a new light and explain the change that you see.
