Yesterday, you were given a handout consisting of three essay choices based upon the three short stories we read: Hemingway's In Another Country, John Steinbeck's Flight and Katherine Ann Porter's The Jilting of Granny Weatherall.  You were to have selected one of the essays, and today in class, you will write a thorough, text-based response.

Those on the field trip to Geva have until midnight to send me the essay.
