Reading due 11/13 or14 and College Essay due 11/15 or 16

Please read "The Yellow Wallpaper" (153-164). Please focus on what inferences your can make about characters as well as how the structure and point of view play a key role in the narrative.

Also, since this is a three day weekend, please read "Young Goodman Brown" (93-102). In this case, please focus on the importance of tone and setting details.

I'm guessing this will take you between 1 and 1 1/2 hours to complete. If you are running short on time (not ideal, but things happen) please make sure you prioritize the "Yellow Wallpaper" since it will take up the majority of our discussion.

Both texts are most likely available online, so ask Google to help you find a copy if you are without your book.

College Essay Assignment

If you have already written this type of essay for college or a scholarship, just submit that one. If you have not already written this essay, this assignment gives you a good excuse to do so.

Your college college admissions/scholarship/personal essay is due on the the 15th or 16th. This document gives you some ideas for what you want to accomplish.
