Dear students,  

The essay topic for the final Language III exam on Wednesday, May 17^th, 2017 will be based on The Namesake  by Jumpa Lahiri.

Please read chapters 6 and 7. The essay topic will be on Gogol. When reading these chapters, please focus on his attitude towards his family, his family´s way of living, and his family cultural background before and after his father passed away.

Don´t forget to review your notes on comparison and/or contrast, on the outline layout, and on the connectors you should use for the different modes of development. You should also review our guidelines on introductory and concluding paragraphs.

Please remember that this week (before May 17) we will not answer questions related to the essay topic in office hours; we will not check your outlines or possible outlines for possible theses statements.

Kind regards,

Prof. A. Argerich
