Response 6 due.

Leads: Matthew N., Jin Chen H.

Reading

• Joyce Carol Oates, “They All Just Went Away” (Oates 553–563)

Notes

I’ve added information about the second essay.

• What is the relationship between the early image-collages and the later narrative surrounding the Weidels?
• Do you think that Oates uses sentence fragments and other “errors” effectively? Why or why not?
• How does Oates’s role as a writer play into this essay?
