Due Tuesday 10/14 (yes, Tuesday)

READING
-- Rebecca Solnit, "The Annihilation of Time and Space" (in the reader)
*please note, folks, we're meeting two days in a row next week; since you have a whole week before our next class, I suggest you get a head start and do Wednesday's reading too: "Lessons of the Golden Spike," also in the reader.
-- Hacker, pp 333-347. This is all about evaluating references, doing outside research, and approaching your bibliography: very relevant to what we did in class today and to your homework. Speaking of which...

WRITING
Act as if the paper you just handed in was a research paper. Using the online databases that we were introduced to in class today, assemble a bibliography of sources you might have used. The list should have at least 5 scholarly articles or pieces of literary criticism. The list should be formatted like a formal bibliography (see the Hacker reading for guidelines). For two of the sources, actually download the articles and pull out at least 2 direct quotes, and/or paraphrase 2 of the article's original ideas, that you would have used in your paper.
