Week 2: "Like a Winding Sheet"

Jun 14, 2014, 08:15 AM

There are many things we could discuss about this short story, but I'd like to have a conversation about the dreaded N-word. Reflecting upon the short story as well as some of the examples I presented, please answer five questions.

Reminder: Make sure you state your name in the first sentence.

Make sure that your response boo has two parts in the same recording: First, respectfully comment on another student's post by which you found to be incomplete, inaccurate, or otherwise noteworthy. Name the student, paraphrase or quote the comment, and then add your reaction. Simply saying that you agree or you liked it is not sufficient. Then, in the main part of the response, answer the questions that I asked. You get 2 pts for your comments to another student and up to 8 pts for your answers to my question. Both parts should be in a single boo.
