Good afternoon! Today we will wrap up with a few final story pieces and poetry and review the works covered over the quarter and how they might be used for the in-class short essay final and the final project, if you choose.
I'll let you decide what we read from among the various selections already provided and those I bring today, including "The Portable Phonograph," a post-apocalyptic short story by Walter Van Tilburg Clark, and "Puppy," a short story by George Saunders, considered one of today's very best in the genre. In fact at the following link you can read the convocation speech he delivered in 2013 and which bears the thematic marks of many his stories, namely, the difficulty and utmost desirability of human kindness and love: http://6thfloor.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/07/31/george-saunderss-advice-to-graduates/?_php=true&_type=blogs&_r=0
