NOTE: TAke the time to print and study the essay options. Your paper is due on October 22nd. It is around the corner.
I posted the Mike Rose essay for those of you who decide to choose the last option , I posted the Rose essay as a page.

IN addition, please take the time to study the task for PUB 2. This is DUE NEXT week and you should begin working on it. Please see me if you have any questions!

DUE ON TUESDAY 10/13
IN CLASS AND IN YOUR NOTE-BOOK

Conduct brief research on Achilles during the Trojan War in order to gain a broader perspective as to what Kaufman is alluding to.  Jot down some notes in your notebook.


Keep in mind that Achilles was a great warrior in the Trojan War and very famous in Homer's Illiad. He was killed when he was shot in his heel with an arrow. His heel was his weak spot. It was extremely inconspicuous. However, it was extremely significant.

ANSWER THIS IN YOUR NOTEBOOK

In 2-3  paragraphs answer the following question: Why do you suppose Kaufman chose to give his essay this particular title? How does the essay relate to my lecture on "perspective".
Why did Kaufman ignore Hector after graduating from college? What does say about society in general? Provide 2 examples using in -text citation from the reading.

In addition, draw a parallel between my perspective lecture today and one selected reading/article or video discussed in class.
