Devin,

These assignments cover Chaps 1-3. You should submit your assignments as a Comment rather than as a New Post. You can find the Comment button below this post. Remember to focus on original reflections rather than regurgitations... This is a graded assignment, due by Sunday morning 10 am.

*Chapter 1: You're introduced to Urania, but there is a lot of ambiguity about her circumstances/motives. What do you learn about her and what questions are left unanswered for you?

*Chapter 2: You're introduced to Trujillo. What do you learn about him and what questions are left unanswered for you? What is the most disturbing story from this chapter in your mind?

*Chapter 3: Who're you introduced to in this chapter? What are there motives? What do you think about them?

As you read Chapter 4, you should anticipate what kinds of questions I will ask.
