READ: Hacker Usage Glossary (does not demand a linear read, instead go through and check the rules you do or do not know).Read & annotate "You Can Find Love Now" by Ramona Ausubel. Respond to the short story in writing as Informal Writing #2. In your essay, be sure to discuss rhetorical devices employed by the writer. Focus on one or more of the following questions:
1. If you read The Odyssey in high school, how did this story accentuate or otherwise widen your view of the original piece?
2. Did the format of the piece (the back and forth between the voice of the Cyclops and the voice of the computer program) accentuate how you related to the theme? If so, how specifically?
3. Do you think that the Cyclops will be successful in luring love back to his cave? Why or why not?
4. We will return to a deceptively simple question we explored with the Luke Johnson poem: Was this a hopeful story or a sad story? Discuss why you feel that way.
Be ready to discuss on Monday.
