 College Writing I

  9. English 1310 “I didn't use the novel in any formal way, but it came up once or twice in discussions about language / identity / bilingualism, and a few of them compared an essay in Reading Culture to it. I think it's handy to be able to refer to a text that they all have in common (they had all read it, I suppose because they had been told to).” —Dorothy Lawrenson
