Homework

• For the short stories you were suppose to read last week, have a one sentence thesis statement written for each story.  Check the sample outline for an example of a thesis statement.  Basically you pick a major theme from the piece, for instance, the theme of addiction is prevalent in Sonny's Blues and then tell me what you think the piece is saying about addiction.  I will look at the statements you come up with and narrow down which ones are strong and which ones are not and talk about the ways you could go about defending those statements.  It's an easy assignment considering the reading should already be done.  One sentence thesis statement for each story.
