In today's session, we will delve into the haunting themes present in Joyce Carol Oates' work, focusing on her narrative style and historical context. Students are encouraged to identify significant ideas and passages that illuminate the story's depth. We'll also touch on Ambrose Bierce in preparation for next week's draft. Remember, there will be no office hours on Monday due to school closure. The draft of 1,000 words is due on Tuesday, with MLA format required.
