Due Wednesday, February 6th -- Chapters 3 & 4 of Part III (pages 260-282) of 1984
*Due Friday, February 8th -- Rough Draft of Comparison and Contrast Essay # 1. The assignment is listed below. *Due date changed from 2/7 to 2/8!
Choose one of the following topics for your first comparison and contrast essay:
1. What oppositions do you use to evaluate people? Smart versus dumb? Hip versus clueless? Fun versus dull? Choose your favorite opposition for evaluating people, and write an essay in which you compare and contrast those who pass your "test" with those who fail it. You may choose to write your essay in tongue-in-cheek, as Britt does in "Neat People vs. Sloppy People," or seriously.
2. Write an essay in which you compare and contrast two apparently dissimilar groups of people: for example, blue-collar workers and white-collar workers, runners and football players, readers and watchers, or any other variation you choose. Your approach may either be light-hearted or serious, but make sure you come to some conclusion about your subjects. Which group do you favor? Why?
