End of the Year Festivities!

Hello All,

I liked Ms. Tracy's idea of a picnic.

But instead of one person bringing all the food, I thought that we could all bring our own food and meet somewhere outside. 

And so:

___________


You are all cordially invited to:

***THE RHETORIC TO-GO BOX PICNIC***

Who: Everyone who is eligible to post on this blog.

What: A Post-Rhetoric Celebration

When: Friday, May 15th @ 7:00pm

Where: Memorial Glade

Why: To get a few extra hours for revisions, of course!

Bring: A to-go box with your dinner in it, and possibly a blanket to sit on.

*To-go box means that you actually went somewhere and bought food with the intention of eating it with us! And no leaving once you turn in your paper!

___________

(Ben and Hui-Hui:

If you would so kindly distribute this invitation to all worthy recipients, I would be much obliged.)

Hope to see you there! Good luck with finals!

Your Earnest Party Planner,

Ms. Cohen

Music for Wednesday

Hey everybody,

Here's the music we'll be talking about this Wednesday. It's two performances by Jimi Hendrix, "Are You Experienced?" and his version of the Star Spangled Banner. As usual, you want to be thinking about how these songs work, what they're doing, what sort of arguments they might be making, how they read America, etc.

If you want to download them to your computer, you can click here.

Jimi Hendrix - "Are You Experienced?"


Jimi Hendrix - Star Spangled Banner (from Woodstock)

Enjoy!
