Writing Assignment 4


Read your assigned essay in Harold Bloom’s anthology Ursula K. Le Guin’s The Left Hand of Darkness and take thorough notes. In a page, summarize the essay’s assertions about Le Guin’s novel; i.e., what is the major point and focus of the essay? In two (additional) pages, write your reaction to the critic’s position and provide your own comments to The Left Hand of Darkness.

Required in this assignment will be a single WebCT interchange session with your group. Talk to the other members of the class that are assigned the same article as you, and agree to meet in the WebCT environment sometime this week to discuss the article and your reactions to it. Use the discussion to help you to formulate and expand your own ideas; you may even allude to the discussion and the group’s conclusions therein.
