Assignments for weeks thirteen and fourteen are posted.

I've tried to keep the reading this week focused on the literature surrounding the Thanksgiving Holiday.  You have the only two paragraphs which record the 1621 Pilgram Thanksgiving, an address from an Indian Thanksgiving ceremony, and Fanny Fern's description of an 1853 Thanksgiving Day.

I've intentionally keep the reading and writing short, so you can enjoy your Fall break.  I thought the reading would give you a deeper appreciation for the holiday, and it might give you some good dinner conversation if you happen to find yourself with friends and family reproducing the 1621 feast.

Enjoy your break, but do do the work.
