This week's short story is a bit long. According to the reading on Youtube (which you are welcome to listen to instead of reading), it is about 34 minutes. That said, since this is your only "reading" this week, I'm going to assign it. This is one of my favorite short stories for many reasons, but it is dark, thought-provoking, and full of rich allusions and metaphors. The story is called "A Good Man is Hard to Find" and is written by Flannery O'Connor, one of America's greatest Southern writers. You can find a PDF text here.
Your final drafts of your essay are due next week, and we will also have your next vocabulary quiz over lists 11-13. Your grammar test is on the 20th. This semester is almost over, and you've all done very well. Hang in there. Break time is coming up!
If you'd like me to look at your essay before you submit it, go ahead and email it over in a Word document. Remember to use the self-editing tips before you send them to me!
