Assignment for Tuesday, Oct. 23

Read chs. 12 and 13 of J. D. Vance's Hillbilly Elegy, which was handed out in class. If you missed class or misplaced it, you can read it here. As you read, keep in mind our observations in class about Vance's sense of isolation from both the "ordinary people" he's leaving and the "elites" he is joining. You will have to write something about this reading during Tuesday's class, so pay close attention to it.
