*extra credit assignment opportunity - in 4th period Rasul Shabazz brought up the idea that "Thank You, Ma'am" by Langston Hughes is written from a 3rd person limited point of view, and not 3rd person omniscient (like Mr. Power said).  For extra credit, you may either support or refute this claim - write one 8-sentence paragraph using CDs from the story, and back up either Mr. Shabazz or Mr. Power.  This is worth a possible 15 extra credit points.
