    So when I add Nickel and Dimed to my bibliography, I know I am supposed to include the "On Not Getting By in America," but do I type it in like that or like this: "On (Not) Getting By in America?"

    Yup. Of course, it would italicized because it would be part of a book title (but I realize blogspot won't let you do that).

    So did anyone feel like we actually accomplished anything in our discussions about Nickel and Dimed? It seemed like we were too busy doing other things and we only ever spent about 10 minutes a day on the book. Usually I get a better understanding after discussing with the class, but I have absolutely zero gained after the week was over. Did I miss a critical point in class or something?

    hmmmm, I don't think we've finished, but yah I agree, that was barely an essay's worth of discussion, let alone a book! I think we will probably spend a good deal more time on it. By the way, who is this?

      And I thought Mr. Kline had said that we were only going to spend last week on Ehrenreich, so that's why I asked

    Also, Mckenna, I know it's not your obligation, but do you mind listing the new things we need to add to our bibliography? I feel like there are a lot, but I can't think of any more than like, two. :(
