Assignment for Friday, Feb. 26

Prepare for the in-class essays on Civilization and Its Discontents. You will write an argumentative essay and a rhetorical analysis essay. For the argumentative essay, you should think about your perspective on the potential topics suggested in class today. For the rhetorical analysis essay, look at the passages suggested in class and think about the effects of Freud's rhetorical strategies in those passages and how those rhetorical strategies achieve a particular purpose in those passages. (You do not have to read to the middle of p, 14 in Conrad's Heart of Darkness.)
