Hello. For this weekend I would like you to read the attached Woody Allen story "The Kuglemass Episode." "The Kugelmass Episode" is generally acknowledged to be a classic short story and one of the finest pieces in Allen’s relatively small output of prose fiction. This story is funny and is great to use when teaching humor and satire. Consider how Allen uses humor and comic situations to poke fun at people and situations and to show the absurdity of human desires and pursuits. Allen is undoubtedly using satire to to attack literature and the study of it (I'm sure you will enjoy that).

Please continue to work on your independent reading - due Monday. Also, work on your college essays.

Have a good weekend
