For anybody who missed our first class, Sept. 10, and for anybody who was present but might have dozed off ... I want you to read the two essays I handed out: "Conspiracy Theories 101" by Stanley Fish and "Time Lines" by Lewis Lapham.
While you're reading, think about how they might relate to our discussion of narrative. I suggest you take notes as you read -- jot down observations about the writers' points (determine the thesis of each essay) and jot down any questions you have. Come to class prepared to talk about the readings!
If your memory of "narrative" and "thesis" are fuzzy, go ahead and look them up in a dictionary or on www.dictionary.com. Also, if you want a refresher, look up "notation" and "connotation" and "context" while you're at it.
Feel free to contact me with questions.
See you Monday.
