Diving in Dumpsters is a Dirty Job...

...and surprisingly, some people don't "dive" out of necessity. One of those people is Lars Eighner, author of "On Dumpster Diving" on page 22 of the Norton Reader.

You'll notice fairly quickly that Eighner doesn't fit the preconceived notions you might have had about someone who is homeless.

After reading:
1. TAP the essay. Remember to include evidence of the tone as well as examples to support Eighner's alleged audience.
2. Answer questions 1 - 3. When you respond to # 3, answer the question about one of the characters from The Glass Castle.

Additionally, today in class we:
1. Discussed anastrophe.
2. Completed a practice section for the AP Language and Composition exam. We discussed the answers as well as tips for eliminating wrong answers to arrive at the correct answer.

Tomorrow we will:
Have time to work on all the Glass Castle work for Friday.
Remember, you have a Friday Reading due Friday!
