"What Is A LIfe Worth?"

Good Morning!

 Please put your cell phones completely out of sight for the FULL duration of the class.  Please do not have me remind you of this. NOTE: Please bring a book to class vs. reading a book on your phone.

“Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,  

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.  

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:  

I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”

"What Is A Life Worth?" -- We started reading this text yesterday, but I really should have introduced this text with some background of the day of September 11, 2001 -- 9/11.  We will see some background to this day before we continue with the text.
