Please read the essay by Turner, Fitzgeralds Babylon Revisited. Identify Ms. Turners thesis. Do you agree with it? Disagree? Maybe a little of both? Why? Please read Cisneros, Geraldo No Last Name. What happens in this story? How many narrators are there? You will notice that Cisneros, who is herself Mexican-American, uses derogatory (=insulting) terms for immigrants. Why does she do this? Finally, what kind of feelings does this story leave you with? Please read Albee, The Sandbox. This is the only play we are reading this semester. Since a play is meant to be performed by actors, when it is only read, we have to use our imaginations to visualize how it would be performed. Who do you think is the most important actor in this play? What do you think about the characters of Mommy and Daddy? How does the play use humor?
