English 12 Homework for Tuesday, October 31:

1. Look at the many covers of Margaret Atwood's novel Oryx and Crake: look for this novel online. Get a sense of the story and ideas from the covers. 

What is a crake? and what is an oryx? 

Reread Swift's and Woolf's paragraphs that Atwood included in the setup.  Look carefully and play a bit with them, combining all of this, and have some interesting synthesis of ideas to share with the class, tomorrow.
