Tuesday's reading

For tomorrow, please read "I Was the Mob Until the Mob Came for Me" by the pseudonymous writer "Barrett Wilson."

After you read this short essay, jot a few notes in your notebook in response to (or at least think for a couple minutes about) the following questions:

  • Which of this essay's points do you find persuasive?
  • What is less than persuasive about this essay?
  • What ideas seem important or wise here? What seems well expressed?
  • What ideas, examples, or turns of phrase do you question or resist?
  • Is this a strong personal essay? Why and/or why not?
