These responses should be informal, journal-like, typed pieces, expressing your thoughts and reactions to the text. Do not be afraid to express puzzlement and unfamiliarity or even delight and interest. I am interested in your untutored, uncritical reactions to the texts.

The class covers about 1,000 pages of literature, and you can fall irrevocably behind if you miss even a few of these three-hour classes.
