Dear Doomers:
By this time, we have watched
Sleep Dealer in class. The film can be played instantly on Netflix (and probably through other services).
Sleep Dealer
We have also read "Lullaby of a Hated Person" by Joseph Michael and "The Argument" by Ceschino. You get extra credit for writing a review of/analysis of/journal response to the short stories and additional credit for incorporating one or both of them into your final essay.
As far as the prompts for your final paper (DUE MONDAY!!!), you should have written (and tried to incorporate into your final essay--even if a prompt is covered in just one sentence or paragraph) the following prompts:
1) What would you do about the child in the cellar?
2) Relate the story to something you have experienced or observed.
3) Relate the story to another creative work (book, film, tv show, song, etc).
4) Relate the story to a major event (current, recent history, signficant older history).
5) Relate the story to a major issue (from a large to global scale).
You will get credit for incorporating your analysis of artwork at the MFAH, of the film
Sleep Dealer, and of the two extra credit short stories into your final essay.
