Homework: 01/13

For this evening, I would like you to read - I mean, really read, closely - the two handouts from class today. They provide valuable background on Kafka and introduce us to the Existential framework we will use to examine The Metamorphosis. Do not be surprised if I administer a minor assessment on the readings. So, know the material. Also, please read the first few pages of the story. Read up the the paragraph that ends with "Still, it must be risked." We will have some discussion as well as begin to look at the text closely tomorrow. 

A reminder that all parts of the  I.R. are now due by the 26th. Please turn them in as soon as you finish. End of semester is the same day. Have a good night.
