HW 10/7

Hello. I am working on getting all your work graded and handed back. It takes a lot of time to read your writing and to make meaningful comments. It is important to see that you are making the connections and responding to the literature in a way that is acceptable at the AP - that is to say college - level. Please do not worry about your grade. I will make the changes quickly.

For tonight's homework, please read "Hills Like White Elephants." I will assign point of view reading for tomorrow for those who do not have the book. Those with the book can read it tonight if you would like. It might help with the story.

In addition to tonight's reading, I would like you to use today's reading and do the following:

In a well-constructed paragraph, discuss how Mailer establishes point of view through his use of language - specifically, imagery and metaphor. We need to get beyond the vocabulary of pov and begin to discover how pov influences our understandings, and strengthens the author's message.
