Week 8: Reading Virtual Realities

This week we will complete a writing assignment on worldbuilding before we begin reading our final novel of the semester. Using the list of questions from Junot Diaz listed in last week's blog entry and used in our in-class reading, read and comment on one of the the worldbuilding responses posted by members of our class last week. In writing your comment, use just one of the questions.

Then, using the list of questions again, write a response to one of the questions in relation to either Junot Diaz's The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao or to Edwidge Danticat's Dewbreaker (if you read more of Dewbreaker than what we read in class). Post your response on your blog.

We will be reading in class again this week so please bring your laptop or tablet.
