Why Do People: Initial Motivation Essay
The instructions for the essay are on page 8 of WDP.

• Please type, double-space, and bring a printed copy to class.
• Save it on your computer or a flash drive. You will be revising it later.

This essay will be the seed for later writing that we do as we read the various theories of motivation in the book, so it is important to have it as a starting point. Email me if you have any questions about it.

Shawshank Redemption. pp. 25-36
Focus Question: Be prepared to discuss -- What are the two deepest things that Red learned about Andy. (There is no right or wrong answer here as long as you can support it with evidence.)

Caveat: If you find the subject matter of pages 32-35 distressing, you may skip them, but be sure to read the rest.
