HW 50 - First Third of Care-of-the-Dead Book Post

Please read the first third of your book, taking notes as you go along.

Write up a succinct precis of the first third of the book in a paragraph. Please remember that to write a precis you miniaturize the text, proportionally, in the author's voice, without quotes.

Then please list a handful of short quotes that you particularly enjoyed.

Finally, please write an analytical paragraph that BOTH says something interesting about the text and demonstrates that you really read it and thought about it.

Must be posted by Saturday, April 30, at noon.
