assignments for Mon 10/26

1. The Kapil book Incubation is available at Ned's. Read this and bring 2-3 points of interest that you can share with the class; be specific and be prepared to discuss your points.

2. Go back and look at the Field story A I; we'll start class by talking about this story in terms of its form and structure, language, character, and plot.

3. Type up one page from the fiction postcard exercise we did in class; the story doesn't have to be finished; turn in what you can.

4. This week's terms: connotative, irony, paradox, form, genre, style, narrative and story, plot, point of view; type up a short definition and give an example (from something we've read or discussed if you can); I'll collect your list of terms so-far completed with the midterm portfolio.


Also, please note that the Kapil reading is on Tue 11/3; info is on the syllabus; you should plan to attend.
