Readings for Thursday

I've posted a number of two articles to be read before Thursday's class:

• H.L. Mencken, "Sahara of the Bozart"
• Sally Jenkins, "Hey, Senator Voinovich"

If you need a bit of help with context, I recommend that you listen to this NPR interview with Dr. William Ferris and Dr. John Shelton Reed, two of the most esteemed scholars of the South.

Finally, please try to access the GT Writing and Communication eBook as soon as possible. Save the link to your bookmarks.

Additional note (8:56 pm, Wednesday): just in case you didn't realize it, the Mencken piece should offend you--I think it offers something to irritate everyone, not matter who you are, where you're from, or what you believe
