April 29*

JOURNAL TOPIC:
One of the most extremely postmodern authors of his/our time was Hunter S. Thompson, who (after copying Gatsby word for word) once wrote, "There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and to rare to die."

Hunter also wrote, "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro."

You have a choice: either apply the first quote to Billy and/or Kurt Vonnegut, or apply the second to yourself... (more on these options in class)

AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. Review/discuss S5 chapters/notes

HW:
1. Double-check your active reading notes and comment on >3 of your colleagues'.
2. Read/take notes on Chapters 4 & 5 (and publish to your blog under the title SCHLACHTOF FUNF)
