Wednesday, Oct. 26, Assignment

Dear students,

I'm sorry to report that I am home sick today. Yana said she would post a sign on the door, and I asked her to tell you to check the blog here for your assignment.

Your assignment for Wednesday is the same assignment we had for today: to finish Sula and start (get as far as you can reading) The Joys of Motherhood. BRING BOTH BOOKS. On Wednesday, we will pick up with the group discussions from last week, giving Groups No. 3-5 time to present their textual passages and discuss their viewpoints. Then, we will examine the topic of "the historical mother" -- mothers, and daughters, as cultural images -- before starting our lecture on and discussion about Buchi Emecheta's novel.

You might take this opportunity early this week to post your assigned blog entry (a journal entry on either Sula or The Joys of Motherhood). Thanks to Kimbalee for getting the process started, and for your moving testimonies on behalf of Clem and his family.

My best to all,
Prof. Hinton
