Hate to Nag, But . . .

I only got 3 responses to the Cat on a Hot Tin Roof question.  I'll expect to see the rest of them on Thursday. 

We're reading Tender is the Night--try to get through the first book for Thursday.  AT LEAST get a good start on the book.  We'll begin discussing on Thursday.  You might want to check back tomorrow (Wednesday) night.  I'm planning on throwing up some discussion questions to get you started thinking about the novel a little. 

I want to remind you all that there will be extra credit question(s) on the final about the Baldwin and Updike stories that we struck from the schedule.  Also, in case you are beginning to worry about it, I will be handing out a study guide for the final next week.  I will also take your pulse, as a class, about whether you feel that you want/need a review session scheduled before the final.

Finally, I will have handouts on Thursday for two other texts--a chapter from Hemingway's A Moveable Feast, which is a very, very quick read and goes nicely with the Fitzgerald, and a copy of T.S. Eliot's "The Wasteland" which is anything but a quick read, but something I'd really like for us to get a chance to talk about on the last day of class.  PLEASE DO NOT LET ME LET YOU LEAVE WITHOUT THESE TEXTS ON THURSDAY.

See you all Thursday!
