This week we will conclude our time with Pi and you will start the process of writing your essays.
Your assignment for Life of Pi is to return to one of the formats we used last semester - either a single-text analytic essay, an inter-textual essay (linked to one of the books we read last semester), or a personal-hybrid essay. You can choose any one of these, and you will have the same set of choices for our next book. This will be an 8-page minimum essay - double-spaced, Times New Roman 12 point font, one inch margins. You will be submitting a question proposal and an outline before writing the actual essay.
