9 / 9 - Henry overhears officers talking strategy and is upset by the assertion that the 304th fights "like a bunch of mule drivers" on page 145. Later, the 304th is drawn into combat and, with that assertion still in his head, Henry and a friend capture the enemy flag. This is in contrast to how Henry has comported himself throughout the novel previously. Think about your own accomplishments. Give an example of a time that you achieved something despite criticism and negative comments.

9 / 10 - Quote: "We improve ourselves by victories over ourself. There must be contests, and you must win." What contests does Henry fight with himself? What victories does he achieve? How are these similar to the internal struggles that you have contended with in your life?

9 / 11 - The next book we will read in class is Upton Sinclair's The Jungle. Consider what you know about this story from class discussions, from the title, and from popular culture. What expectations do you have about this story? How do you think this story has impacted your life? How do you think reading it will change the way in which you see the world?

9 / 12 - Consider the class projects that you saw this week. Which project did you think was most creative? Which project was most topical? How could the projects have been improved within the contexts of their individual formats? How did your own project compare to the best project that you saw? To the worst? What made your project better or worse than the others that you saw? Be specific and try to use analytical language; avoid subjective or metaphorical words.
