As I suggested already, I want you to propose a topic for your 1000 word critical essay. I want you to draw the subject matter out of your assigned book. By now I hope you've purchased it and at least skimmed through the contents. Ideally the subject will integrate the book's topic with one the themes we cover in class.
I'll work with you to refine your topic. The more work you do now, the less work you will have to do later.
One note of caution: I don't want a book report.
This will be due September 23rd.
