We're finishing up O Brother today, and moving on to All the Pretty Horses at the end of this week. You'll notice that ATPH is yet another story that follows the monomyth pattern, but this time the setting is the American Southwest and Mexico. The hero is a teenaged cowboy named John Grady Cole. The novel is wonderful and spare. I hope you like it.
Tomorrow, we'll be in the computer lab, where you can work on your creative writing piece. At the end of the hour, I'll ask you to give me a print-out of what you've accomplished so far. The final copies of those pieces will be due on November 11th.
