Write a two-page close reading on either all of "After Apple Picking" or a few pages of "Trifles." Avoid summary. Assume that I have read the literary work, that I know it well, and that I have a copy within reach. There is no need to retell the plot.

Submission details:

1. Upload your file to the appropriate slot in J-Web. (For this assignment only, you can just bring a copy of your file to class. Usually the deadline for uploaded work will be a half hour before class starts. After this week, you won't have class time to upload your work.)
2. Bring 2 printouts to class, to trade with peers. (Exercise 1-1b will ask you to read and offer constructive criticism on your peers' work.)
