Keep in mind that I emailed the Danish legend of Amleth in supplement to your reading of Hamlet. If you're not sure what to write for a the final blog entry for Hamlet, you might re-read the legend and use that text as way to discuss some aspect of Shakespeare's play.

Also, for our reading of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest you should have the following supplemental readings handed out in class. Feel free to draw on these as you write in response to Kesey's novel.

1. A selection of Allen Ginsberg's poetry (including 'Howl')
2. An excerpt from Kerouac's novel On the Road
3. Carolyn Knox-Quinn's article Collaboration in the Writing Classroom: An Interview with Ken Kesey (sent via email)
