WE LISTENED TO FLANNERY O'CONNOR!!!!

I'm not sure what you thought about listening to the recording
of Flannery O'Connor reading, "A Good Man Is Hard to Find,"
(the author reading her own work) but I think it will be an
experience you will not soon forget.
Please write an entry in your journals about the experience
of listening to a story instead of reading it.

So....on Thursday we will do the stories that were meant for
today. "A Thousand Years of Good Prayers," and
"Interpreter of Maladies"
This means you'll have more time to think about the stories.
***COME TO CLASS WITH SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT THEM !
