Over the next three days we'll be taking a look at T. C. Boyle's "Greasy Lake" out of the textbook. I'd love to link to a full version online, but due to copyright no one has reposted it. Google books has a large part of the story, and if you'd like, you can find it here.
I also recorded the book if you'd like to listen in class. Unfortunately, I cannot publish this recording due to copyright. However, feel free to take advantage of it in class.
Here's the Assignment:
Read Boyle's story, starting at page 143. While reading, keep a double entry journal of quotations that you find noteworthy. In one column, copy the quotation. The other is for your commentary. Write four to five sentences explaining why you felt that quotation was noteworthy. Remember, be a color commentator, a la John Madden, rather than a play by play announcer. I want to here your thoughts.
