Expository Writing for 11/6

1) If you haven't spoken in favor of (or against) a film you've seen outside of class, be prepared. We will definitely finish those up this week.

2) These students are scheduled for final paper proposals this week: Sam, Elizabeth & Bonnie. If you haven't signed up for a conference yet, please sign up in class this week.

3) Be prepared to discuss The Graduate and alienation. Some talking points:
    a) Who in this movie is alienated? How do you know?
    b) What does the music add to the movie?
    c) What is the meaning of the scene, early in the film, when an older man at a party tells Benjamin to think about "plastics"?
    d) Did you like or dislike this movie? Why?
    e) What is the meaning of the ending of the movie (on the bus)?
