Today, TP2 finished reading and analyzing Diane Abbott's editorial (Text 1). Those who missed today's class should finish reading the text and identifying the techniques within it. We then began reading Text 2: Rebecca Solnit's editorial about Jeffrey Epstein's birthday book.

Those who missed today's class should read the first half of Text 2.
