1) Paper #3 working draft... I strongly recommended that you finish this on Sunday night... technically, these only count for homework credit, but as you know you can't very well write a good final draft without doing the working draft all the way through... if you're worried about the homework credit, make sure your working draft is into the dropbox by Wednesday morning
Clarifying thought on paper #3 that came to me as I was doing conferences today... This paper is about what, how, and why. What is the difference between the two endings that you are identifying, how does Austen use literary technique to achieve this difference, to make the revised ending strike the reader in a particular way, and why does she feel it necessary to make the change. The what should be established in your intro, the how is the majority of your paper, and the why is an issue you must settle by the end. (I would recommend that the why find its way back into the initial thesis because it's not good to make surprise endings in analytical essays.
2) Course Guide 78-90 is a good brush-up on how to construct a working draft, which is something you have to do without my help this time.
3) Read Bluest Eye 61-183 and have something to say about study questions Autumn 1, 3, 8, 18, Winter 1, 5, and Spring 3, 9, 12.
4) See if Van Sant's / Morrison's concept of "thinking through the body" applies to Thanksgiving dinner.
p.s. Dessert ?
