*September 13

JOURNAL TOPIC: [today's tunes: "The Homecoming Queen's Got A Gun" by Julie Brown; "Delicious" by Jim Backus & Friend]

Texts-- in all media-- are often read differently by different readers. What is funny to one person can be offensive to another. One reader "gets the message" while another wonders, "What's the point?" How does the author of your literature analysis book use techniques such as figurative language, parody, satire, and allusion to encourage the reader to interpret the text? Is this more effective than coming right out and telling the reader everything s/he needs to know? Explain your answer.

AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. Essay debrief

HW:

  3. Have no fear, you're both ahead of the game. We didn't get quite far enough for this today & I forgot to delete it from the post. I will talk about it tomorrow in class and extend the due date to Monday.
