Almost done with my outline. I'm on the last point, trying to try it all together. The draft is also progressing very well. I'll be ready by class on Wednesday and I can't wait to see how these papers turn out!

LATE BUT HERE IT IS ANYWAYS

   J. D. Salinger was a weird guy. He wasn't one to be favored and set as a role model unless you wanted to live life that is nothing but reclusion. I have had at least three research questions. Why was Salinger a recluse? What was the reason for writing catcher in the Rye. How was Salinger post modern? I have wondered why this guy was soo weird. He seemed to not have a "troubling" childhood. I think He is just a wimp. Honestly, I don't like him (I would love to write paper on hims still because of this) he has no back bone not though of his own and mixes up his beliefs like a child at Mcdonalds mixes his sodas. 

It's Tuesday Evening...

Where are your research updates?!... These are being graded, which I did mention.  And points are being deducted as you are reading this! So...stop reading this and start writing!

See ya'll tomorrow :)

Faulkner Research

Half way done... he's so interesting, its hard not to go off on rabbit trails about his books and extra stuff when reading about him.

Friendly Reminder

I hope research is going well and good ol' Will and J.D. have become your new best friends...

Due Wednesday, October 20th:              
 1)Research, research, research!!
 2)At least 3 of the research sheets MUST be completed:
            -you will need 3 sources to complete assignment
            - one sheet should record your research/quotes/ideas from one source
 3) A topic and thesis statement written down to be handed in:
             -A brainstormed list of topic ideas/ then narrowed down to your final topic
             -A research question (refer to Unit 4 in Put that in Writing)
             -Your thesis statement (or contention)
             **This must bewritten down on a sheet of paper to be handed in in class. 
 4) Bring research materials to class (please print out any essays, articles, or journal articles you are using to bring to class (because we only have one computer).
             **We will spend the majority of class next Wednesday developing your thesis statements, researching, and beginning your outlines. 
 5) Don't forget to give a status update about your progress on the blog by Monday evening.  Please be sure to include possible topic ideas, questions you have come across, and interesting facts you have learned about your author. Also, this is not an academic essay (1st person may be used), but I am grading them and paragraph structure still counts.  As well as grammar and spelling :)
6) ALSO, if you both could try to get your hands on As I Lay Dying and Catcher in the Rye that would be great! (You should be able to get the cheap online). I think the library had one copy of Catcher in the Rye. We will start reading soon! Possibly next week.  I will also keep my eyes peeled for any copies floating around.

Things to Keep in Mind:
-A formal sentence outline and introductory paragraph will be due the following Wednesday (Oct. 27th)
-Your first draft will be due Wednesday November 3rd   
-Final draft will be due November 10th
(subject to change)

Have a great weekend!

This should help you get started!  Just start browsing, reading, and writing anything you learn about these authors and pay attention to anything that strikes you as bizarre, intersting, unique, or just something you would like to know more about.  I will continue to research as well! Let me know if you have any questions.  (I will post some questions to keep in mind while researching within the next few days). For now, your job is to get to know these authors!

LeeAnna here.

Alrighty,
Well, I'm off on a hard start because I was gone all weekend and had no time for anything, including sleeping. When I got back, I was feeling pretty sick from overworking myself. However, I'm determined to catch up on everything. I finished The Bible as a Work or Imagination paragraph and I'm now moving onto the Leithart/Eliot one. I might do the other one tomorrow, if not tonight.

Prayers are much needed, as I'm still feeling yucky and there's a cold going around.

That's life.

Joseph

I have a paragraph on T. S. Eliot  and Leithart done. re wrote (transcribed) my other paragraph that we did in class. I am now finishing up chad and then I will write final paragraph and be done. I am still confused on research cause I read all the handouts and I am still don't know what to reasrch ( I have an Idea but it doesn't seem to be relevant sooo...yeah) please comment if needed :)

Joseph

Okay what is the story line of the tale of Two Cities? is it a redemptive story? Is it a novel about colony times? I am trying to understand the point Liehtart is stating but I don't understand his analogy.
