Today we spent most of the class looking at the sample text from Ralph Ellison. Hopefully you're starting to get the hang of this annotation business. The good news is that it only gets easier.

The homework for tonight is the Silko piece. If you were unlucky like Beth you ended up with a dysfunctional text but click above for another copy of it.
Enjoy your last night of hot sticky weather.
