“Shit, people are writing like 700 words here,” Navarro remarked in dismay, scrolling through a sequence of substantial, multi-paragraph responses to the week’s readings. “Our professor just said to write a brief paragraph and pose some questions. Not sure why everyone decided to write an essay.”

“Now I guess I have to write some shit like that,” Navarro went on, trying to muster up some nuanced thoughts about Dust Bowl photography. “I was struck by the readings too, but man, I wasn’t that struck.”

At press time, Navarro reported that everyone is also bringing in outside texts?? Fuck.
