➤ Begin Essay 2: Essay on an Object
This essay is due a week from today, on Monday November 16. I’d recommend you get started writing it soon!
Be sure to read the instructions carefully before beginning.
➤ Read “The Mwiko”
As you read, ask yourself:
What does the mwiko (and making ugali) represent for the different characters (the father, the narrator, the sister)? Be ready to share one sentence that reflects this.
Where does the tension come from in this story?
In addition, please think of a new ending in which a character does something (a physical action) with the mwiko. Be ready to share your idea with us next class.
➤ Bring your poem titles to class
We didn’t get a chance to share these today, so be ready to share them next class!
