If you'd like, choose one of these extra-credit readings and read it. Then, email me (subject line: Extra Credit) with two paragraphs in response: in the first, summarize the essay/story; in the second, write about what is memorable for you about the reading. Use your own words.

Thinking about the end of the quarter:
