elsajeniSo, I'm supposed to read all this stuff:
-- the background section in my Norton's entitled "The Twentieth Century"
-- "The Man Who Dreamed of Fairyland," Yeats
-- a handout on modernism
-- an essay entitled "What is Reader-Response Criticism?"
-- the first 6 pages of Heart of Darkness
... and then write a 2-page summary/evaluation of it all. But... what on earth does he actually want? I mean, seriously, "summary/evaluation" is all he would tell us about the assignment. I want to hit him with sticks. I guess I'll just write, I don't know, a paragraph or so on each thing, starting with a crappy summary and finishing with an "evaluation," which I choose to interpret as including such statements as "This essay caused my brain to run out my ears in an effort to escape, primarily because of its incompetent organization of topics." (That would be "The Twentieth Century," if you were wondering.)
