For italicizing you will place the following in front of the word you wish to italicize. Use the <> After the word you will type <> (Sorry that had to be so wordy, but as soon as I typed the actual, it turned it to italics and did not show you the HTML.)

Follow the rubric you have been given. Use the words from lesson 13 as bonus. In order to designate the words use HTML. For italicizing you will place the following in front of the word you wish to italicize use the < followed by the letter i and ending with the > After the word you will type < followed by / then the letter i and > (Sorry that had to be so wordy, but as soon as I typed the actual, it turned it to italics and did not show you the HTML.)
George Bernard Shaw stated, "What we call education and culture is for the most part nothing but the substitution of reading for experience, of literature for life, of the obsolete fictitious for the contemporary real." Someone who hates reading could use Shaw's words to argue that books merely distract from real life. Whatever your feelings on the matter, write a rebuttal to the anti-reader, explaining why literature is an important part of life.

"The Secret Life of Walter Mitty"
Walter Mitty is a henpecked husband who goes on a mundane shopping trip with his wife. He keeps escaping from reality into fantasies of drama and adventure that parody (A work that ridicules another work by imitating some aspect of its style or content) stereotypical movies and novels.

Also include what Thurber (the author) parodies in ONE of these fantasies. Discussion prior to your response is encouraged - collaborate a bit.
