For Wednesday (Day 6): Communicate with someone or some people about your response so far to Vance's Hillbilly Elegy. Consider the most appropriate venue, means, and audience for your thoughts about this book. Length won't be a major consideration in my assessment of this piece of writing, but it should reflect that you've given the book, and writing about it, some thought. Email this response to mrmontasmph@gmail.com before the start of class.
For Friday (Day 1) and Monday (Day 2): Read pp. 119-151 in Vance's Hillbilly Elegy. Pay attention to any contradictions that appear in Vance's writing, either in his claims and arguments about society, or about the way he remembers his experiences. Keep in mind especially his observations about self-reliance.
