4.  Discuss Eveline and TTSTCANDI

5.  Read and complete Grendel 3 in GC.

Issues with Essay 1:

1.  Lack of planning, so you were all over the place.  Should have made a quick outline to keep your writing focused:  Thesis, Topic Sentence with what you will write about, Topic Sentence with what you will write about, Topic Sentence with what you will write about.  Stick to it!

2.  Quotes:  You MUST integrate quotes.  SLAP QUOTES SUCK!!  Many were too long.  And lists of quotes are bad too!  And never say, "This quote illustrates..."

3.  "The reader" or "shows the reader" or "the reader can see."  The paper is NOT about the reader.  It's about how Miss Brill's character was developed.

4.  "Analogical Language."  Don't say the author uses anaological language.  That is TOO BROAD.  Focus.  Was it symbols?  Metaphors?  Allusions.  You don't just say analogical langage.

5.  "The author used diction."  Well of course she did.  Always say, "____________ diction."

6.  Rhetorical Devices:  You will not use those this year.  That was the key to last year.  The key to this year is TTSTCANDI.
