Wuthering Heights Spring Break reading

A note on Wuthering Heights:

This book works for almost EVERY open ended prompt ever written. (I'd say 99%). If you are feeling nervous about being prepared for the open ended essay, devoting yourself to a close reading of WH is one of the best things that you can do. I'm not making this up just so you'll do the reading.

You will be reading chapters 1-10 over Spring Break.

Please refer to the introductory slideshow first. It's available here.

If you were not able to get a copy from the library, the text is available for free here.

If you need an audio book version (which can be a big help as you are doing your reading) there seems to be a decent free one available here on Youtube. (I have not listened to all of this version, but I'm going to assume that nobody slipped in something randomly inappropriate in there. I hope. Consider yourself warned.)

I will do my best to post a FAQ powerpoint to help you if you are struggling with your reading, but this will depend on time and energy. If it doesn't get done, we will cover it in class.
