Hello Everyone,

I just want to reiterate that the primary goal of your second essay is to spend as much time as you possibly can analyzing the article/chapter/essay you have chosen. Feel free to use a first-person perspective as much as you wish. Just make sure that the “meat” of your essay is analysis of the text.

For Tuesday please:
1) Finish reading the Strunk and White chapter I handed out today, which you can find a PDF of here. Choose one “rule” that interested/inspired/provided good advice for you and write a one-paragraph response.
2) PLEASE (this is very important) bring a copy of the text you are analyzing for this assignment to class. You can bring a paper version or an electronic version. Just bring it!

Oh yes, and regarding our conversation about infallibility, I was wrong about the Pope’s infallibility hat/cloak/ring (I swear I read about that somewhere but I can’t remember where now) but click here for more information about Papal Infallibility and here for more information about the Devil’s Advocate. It always a good practice to investigate the origin of terms that you think you know well. You’ll always learn something new. See you on Tuesday.
