Today's agenda:
- Quiz on Lord of the Flies in relation to chapter 2 of SS&S
- Discuss conflict, plot, structure of LotF
- Homework for Monday: Journal entry on "Once Upon a Time" from SS&S, pp. 231 ff.
- Long-term homework assignment: Select which of the two books by your author you will use for the focus of your research paper. (Hint: it should be one for which you can find critical articles.) Reread that book carefully as literary fiction, taking notes on elements of the work that stand out to you as important to the crafting of the novel. Be especially aware of structural elements.
