Perry/Wood... list 'O things to look for & think about & look up!

general note #1 -- expect to read this chapter a minimum of two times

general note #2 -- expect to look up the definitions of some terms and who some of these people are... google is fine...you'll find all you need to know there... TIP... when you google for a term or a person, PRINT OUT what you find... bet you'll want it later... bet you'll need that full URL later...

general note #3 -- this guideline is schematic!!! for people answer the Q "who is this?" "why does the author quote this person?" for terms answer "what does this term mean? (dictionary definition) what does this term have to do with (a) what the author is talking about (b) with postmodernism in general?
