<p>does anyone know what we're going to have to do regarding this book? i.e. write a paper, or just discuss it?</p>
<p>Don't know. I should probably get around to reading it.</p>
<p>Sigh.</p>
<p>I'm thinking that classes will somehow try to incorporate it into the curriculum?</p>
<p>My guess is that it will appear in Writing 1.</p>
<p>does anyone know if the class of 2009 had to read this book?</p>
<p>I am under the impression that we are the first class to read it. Which reminds me that I better start reading it soon.</p>
<p>No, the class of 2009 hasn't had to read it. We did have to read stuff by a guy named Richard Rodriguez. There were a couple of excerpts of his that everyone was supposed to read by the beginning of the year and everyone in ecomp had to read from his book Brown.</p>
<p>I can barely get through it..is it just me or is the whole book very repetitive?</p>
<p>very repetitive indeed. He makes a few interesting points, but, hes says more than what is necessary.</p>
<p>man.......it's just right there....i should grab it...and ...read....it</p>
<p>every time i go to read it I remember why I put it down last time.</p>
<p>Just do what I'm planning. It's a 5-6 hour ride down to WashU on the 24th. Now how long does it take to read the book... Especially since I'm a fast reader. Besides, its not like there's an essay assigned or anything.</p>
<p>am I the only one who sent in an essay??</p>
<p>Possibly. I was going to...especially since my college essay (for the schlolarships) was very, very similar.</p>
<p>But...I got lazy(er).</p>
<p>i read bits and pieces of the book. I was wondering if we actually needed to write a paper on it or will need to (writing I). Do we need to read it for anything besides discussion during orientation?</p>
