alright. i would actually love to do the conclusion, or we could share it. my lit. themes are easier than any of yours, because all i do is plot and narration/point of view. so that would be cool with me.

as far as my stuff goes, i got stuff on o'connor's father, the boycotts and civil rights things going on whie it was written, as well as flannery's overall style and themes in her stories. with backround, i'm set.

narration/point of view: kinda unimportant, it's a limited third person, where we're objective observers but can see julian's thoughts and feelings. the irony is, that although we can see his thoughts and feelings, we're not really meant to empathize with him.

plot-wise i thought instead of summarizing, i could just do setting, rising action, climax, resolution, and talk about the major and minor conflicts, but only touch on them, as they'll segway into exploring them in depth with the debate.

sound good? let me know about me doing the conclusion, and if you guys can write in your stuff by ten or eleven tonight that's awesome, especially so we know what points we want to reiterate in the conclusion

also me n charlie were thinking of meeting before school tmrw....

okay, 7 15 sounds pretty good. i'll estimate my conclusion now and solidify it tmrw morning once i know what you guys are saying.

i soo wish we had more time, because i reread again a couple times and there's such good stuff in there. the quote thing sounds good charlie, we can all probs do that. and the timing sounds really solid lauren, we should be able to pull that off. whoever isn't talking should keep track of the time, maybe?

i think this'll be a pretty solid lesson actually. simple, effective, and insightful. see you guys tmrw morning

For Plot, do you guys think i should do the freytage pyramid, or SOAPStone?
