Homework for Wednesday, 10/29, and Thursday, 10/30

For Wednesday, those sections that received the in-class essay should type it over, edit it, and make any revisions necessary for making it a formal essay. These include making revisions according to my comments, referring to specific examples from Antigone, repairing the introduction, and the like. On Wednesday, you will receive the directions for converting this essay into a new essay that compares Antigone to a story of your choice from Uncle Tom's Children. We will have access to a laptop cart on Wednesday, so make sure that you bring a hardcopy of your typed revision and e-mail the essay to yourself so you can continue working on it in class. If you own a laptop, you may bring it to class. 

The section that did not receive their in-class essay (due to my error) should read and annotate the handouts distributed in class and write one journal that combines a response to both handouts. In response to the Margolies article, you should focus on your response to his analysis of Wright's writing; in response to the Miller essay, you should concentrate on the differences between Miller identifies between ancient and modern tragedies.
