In fiction, a McGuffin is a plot device in the form of some pursued goal, desired object or other motivator that the protagonist is willing to do or sacrafice anything to pursue.

Help from the Writing Center

As you start to write the first draft of your paper, be mindful of the proper ways to use and acknowledge sources. Here at Stockton, the Office of the Provost puts out a brochure entitled, “Academic Honesty at Stockton.” The information contained in the brochure is intended to alert students to the seriousness of plagiarism, and most important, help them steer clear of the charge in the first place.

The Many Facets of Taboo

Monday, April 9, 2012: CLASS CANCELED: Please Review the Following Concepts for Class on Wednesday

As the semester's close sneaks up on us, there will be two more papers for our class: literary analysis and final research paper.

The literary analysis paper will be due on WEDNESDAY, APRIL  18th (four to six pages). The final paper will be due on the last day of class....but more on that to come.

For the lit analysis paper, you will couple one of the lessons provided by Henry David Thoreau with a modern problem that evinces the need for a little Transcendentalist philosophy. In other words, your paper will couple direct quotations from Thoreau himself with a little research into modern issues to answer the following question: What truth of modern living in 2012 would most disturb Thoreau? WWTD, to put it another way.

Class canceled today, Monday, April 9th

assignment for Wednesday forthcoming.
