Journal Entry # 31: Write this class as a Jerry Springer show. Imagine two literary critics with varying viewpoints in such a setting.

Five-Page Critical Paper:
Turn in a critical paper in the next week or so. You may base the paper on some aspect of your presentation. Write something that highlights your critical abilities. Extrapolate an arguement using a critical approach. Take a position and make a point about an issue brought up during our class discussions. (How is a book made? How does a writer develop voice or point of view?)
Take a small or limited topic and tease it; play with it. Make a statement capable of being both believed and doubted. Play on the value and possibility of the topic being disputed.
