PD US
Welcome to Week 2 of our online course. Because of the holiday last week, we may not get to complete all the activities, but we will try. First, we will look back at the Week 1 reading “The Most Handsome Drowned Man” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
On Wednesday, we will be reading “Araby,” a dark and soulful coming-of-age story by the renowned Irish writer James Joyce.
For homework, I ask that you read the very short story “Salvation,” which is an excerpt from Langston Hughes’s memoir The Big Sea. We will also be looking at concepts of irony, which are at play in this story.
Be sure to complete Quiz 3 by midnight on Sunday, Feb. 9th.
Note: This week you should post on the Week 1 discussion board. Normally, we do not have discussions on the even numbered weeks, but again, the holiday last week set us back a bit.
