For Wednesday,

• Please write a rough draft--2-3 pages long--of your second 5-6 page essay. This essay should be about "Invierno," by Junot Diaz. Write about Mami and cold; Mami and snow. (A good question to ask, for example, would be something like: "When Mami goes out into the snow at the end of the story, what is the intended effect on us, the readers, given what we know about the way the story uses the images of 'snow' and 'cold' throughout the story?)

• Please bring three hard copies of your draft.
