For each forum, post a thread that answers/engage the following questions about the work assigned or the author of it: 1-10 points depending upon how thorough you are.
Check your syllabus: if no particular work is assigned choose the one you prefer to write about.
Please number your answers:
1. What was your initial response after your first reading? Be specific.
2. Choose an event or quotation from the work that you found interesting or perplexing and explain why you find it so.
I expect good grammar, spelling, etc.
