Literature: homework due 4/3

Girlies,

I love that you commented so much last week. It's neat hearing what you all think, and what you're hoping to do. :)

Guess what? You're to read *ALL* of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde this week! (Eep!) ...It's a much shorter book than I thought - only 100 pages - so we're shortening it to just one week...which may open us up for a party on the last day of class. (Aw - sniff. I'm gonna miss you girls this summer!!)

I do want you to still do a bio on Robert Louis Stevenson, but rather than doing it in paper form, you can do it in bullet form. Obviously, you are not allowed to copy and paste this information from websites. Research the author just as you would a normal bio.

Love you all and see ya next week!
Ally
