                                    Sin and A Fragment of Life.)  We will begin each class with a brief

Week 21 -

Tuesday 2/19:              Pan AP Prompt #3 Essay (9 pts.)
                                    HW:  Begin Madame Bovary

Wednesday 2/20 - For the next three weeks, you will need to have Madame Bovary and your composition book every day in class.  Please order the Dover Thrift Edition.  This is the edition that is on the MBS list, so if your parents already bought the book you should have the right one.  *However, if you have a different edition, you need to order this edition.  It only costs $3.50 on Amazon (I have e-mailed you the link) so it will not bankrupt you.

*There are literally a dozen different translations, and they can be very different, and we cannot do vocab or even analyze passages from the novel together if we are working from different texts.
