Wednesday

 

Today we are going to continue with comparison/contrast essays. You will have about 25-30 minutes to work on these and then we will be moving onto "Where Have You Gone Charming Billy".

These are due on Friday. 

1st - make sure you have a complete list of descriptions for Pa Sexton and Granddaddy Cain.

Then fill out the outline I have given you.

These essays should be about a page long. You will need specific details from the text, so if you didn't take notes on the stories, and most of you didn't, you will need to find your stories and go back through them.

For the comparison think about the following - the characters can be compared by - how they are described, how the handle problems, where they live, and anything else you can think of. Please don't say one is white and the other is black.
