FINALS

Hello everyone.
Here are two of the readings for the Final. Perhaps you should read them both to see which one you feel you could write more on... Either way, remember you can come to class with the story fully annotated.

1. This is "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe.

2. This is "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
Here is the review packet.

More posts will follow, however, if anyone wants to get a jump on reading, nows the time:)
