Today we finished the ETHAN FROME film and you were reminded about the in class essay that will make up the 'test' for the book. Due to time constraints, I would like you work on the essay for a bit at home and know that I will give you the first 25 minutes of class to 'write' on Thursday before they are collected. Please use your time wisely!
