Phew! We've worked hard...but we're not even CLOSE to being there yet! Keep your chin up kid! We have six hard-core weeks to make significant rhetorical progress!
There are two parts to Blog #1 this month:
PART I:
Read "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson. (I know that some of you have read it before in Mains' class. Read it again! You should be awesome at this!) You can access the story in your Bedford Reader, or by clicking on the following link:

PART II:
Respond to the following:
1) What is Jackson's argument?
2) Connect a central theme from the story to another text that you have read.
3) Connect a central theme from the story to a real-world example(s).
4) Discuss how the impact of Jackson's argument would differ if she had approached the topic as an expository piece of rhetoric, rather than a fictional short story.
NOVEMBER BLOG #1 IS DUE BY 11:59:59 ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10TH!
