JOURNAL TOPIC:
How far away from you (or how different a life from yours) does a person have to live in order for you to consider him/her a "foreigner"?  Are you inclined to welcome "foreigners" -- whether they be from a different country, city, or even just another social clique on campus-- or are you inclined to favor people whose experience is more similar to yours?

**If you finish before the rest of us: a) refine your journal entries for the week; b) look up "Trimalchio"; c) work on your blog.

AGENDA:
1.  Journal (please turn in)
2. Gatsby
3. Agreement: how much should we read this weekend?

POST:
What's the difference between agreeing to complete work for each other, and being told what to do for homework?  (title: HAVE TO VERSUS WANT TO)
