Writing Homework Help

What happened in the chapters of Oryx and Crake that you read this week (pages 147-238)?

Note:

This does not need to be a formal or      well-edited summary. Think of it like a “brain dump.” Just      write down all the things you can remember. 

Or if it’s faster, you could copy and paste chapter      summaries you wrote in your notes. 

To earn full credit, your summary/brain dump should be:

About 8-10 sentences,

Fairly complete (cover the main things that      happen in the assigned chapters), and

Accurate and clear.
