Read Why We Crave Horror Films by Stephen King in your 100 Great Essays book (if you left the book at home the essay can be found online). Answer question 2 and post your answer to the blog by 3 p.m. on Halloween. We will discuss this essay in class on Tuesday.

Question of the Week (10/7/11)

Compare and contrast spoken and written language. What are the relative advantages and disadvantages of each? What can the purveyors of written language learn from the masters of spoken language that can enrich their writing? Use the language Gloria Naylor uses in the "A Question of Language" essay as an example. All the usual rules apply, but your posts are not due until Tuesday at 3 p.m. Enjoy your long weekend!
