Agenda, October 18

• Due Now: Reread the commentary sections in The Crucible.  Collect 5 (or more) quotes that would help you answer the question, "What does Arthur Miller think it means to be an American?" You will need either the school's copy of The Crucible or access to this link. 
• Due Thursday: "Why Don't We Complain?" by William F. Buckley, Jr.. Take good notes.
• Due Thursday: Write a synthesis paragraph that answers the question, "What do Americans fear?" Draw your evidence from Edwards, McCarthy, Steinbeck, or Miller. Typed. MLA.
• Due Monday, 10/24: All narratives returned to me, either completely revised, only rhetorical devices revised, or unrevised.
