On our dust bowl essays, do we need to have a title? If no one knows, I'll just ask Peters tomorrow...
comparing the dust bowl to katrina was a hard task even for the draft. I love the "you have permission to rip my paper to pieces" because if we actually say it and mean it we have a better chance of writing a better paper.
Brilliant!!!
