Tight and Bright

Who thinks of these things anyway? I was really yearning for my sunglasses all class today, but you looked great. I also want to commend you on powering through the in-class writing - I know it's hard work, but it will pay off.
For homework, please read Francine Prose's essay on page 89 (I think). I would like you to annotate or take notes as you read and be sure to look up words you don't know. Her use of language is terrific, and there are many adjective noun combinations worth emulation. Consider, "vestigial teenage psyches", "sentimental middlebrow favorites", "sententious epigrams", and "sophomoric ruminations". Thus the need, I suspect, for a dictionary.
Enjoy the weekend, and please try to bring your $17 should you wish to buy a test prep book.
Have a great long weekend!
