Read the following story by Sherwood Anderson:

"I'm a Fool"

Once you are done, I want you to think about a thesis statement that answers the same question as we had in class for "How to Become a Writer":

How is the narration in “I'm a Fool” made to seem either reliable or unreliable?

ALSO, DON'T FORGET TO BRING YOUR OUTSIDE READING BOOK FOR CLASS TOMORROW!!!!
