Eng 9 HW and reminder that work is due tomorrow

Tonight's HW:
assignments 1-14 (last set of cw/hw packets for weeks 17-18) will be due tomorrow. I apologize, but I will print them out tomorrow  and pass them out in class.

Do an analysis of a character vignette from House on Mango Street. Below is a list of the vignettes you can do your analysis on:

P62 Elenita, Cards, Palm, Water
 
P65 Geraldo No Last Name
 
P67 Edna’s Ruthie
 
P70 The Earl of Tennessee
 
P79 Rafaela who Drinks Coconut & Papaya Juice on Tuesdays
 
P81 Sally
 
P84 Minerva Writes Poems
 
P88 Beautiful & Cruel

p90 A Smart Cookie

Also work on starting your first vignette. Look back at the descriptions you wrote in the past about people, try answering the following questions:
How does the character look like (use specific details, not just adjectives)?
How doe they sound? smell?
What is interesting or exciting or unique about them?
What are some things he/she commonly says?
What's an interesting or funny anecdote about them?
Why do you want to write about them?
