--Pick up a copy of the reading titled "Every Trip is a Quest (Except When It's Not)." This reading is a chapter from Thomas C. Foster's How to Read Literature Like a Professor. Quietly and independently, read the chapter in order to get the "gist." (What does this directive mean?)

--After completing the reading, open your vocabulary book to page 24. Look through the list of words and put a star next to all of the words that you are pretty confident about knowing already. Also, make sure that you familiarize yourself with the "Whimsical Words."

HW
--Begin preparing for the Unit #2 quiz, which will take place next Tuesday (10/15/2013). Make sure to familiarize yourself with the “Whimsical Words.” It might be a good idea to read "Fashion Victims" on pages 22 and 23 as a starting point (similar to what we did in class with Unit #1).
--Mindfully complete the "Joseph Campbell’s Monomyth—Background, Instruction, and Application" document. You should come to class next time both a "master" of Campbell's ideas and ready to discuss The Alchemist one last time through the lens of the monomyth.
