Tortilla+Curtain

Bookmark (i.e. questions to consider while you're reading) View this powerpoint BEFORE you read //Tortilla Curtain//. You only need to use slides 7 THROUGH 11, but looking at the entire presentation doesn't hurt you in the least. Pay particular attention to verbal and situational irony. Enjoy this amazing book! It's not quite in the //As I Lay Dying// league, but it's right up there. AND ANNOTATE!
