15. discussion board Please post your initial reactions (i.e., conversational response) to the readings and attach your reading notes. For this week, I’d like you all to structure your reading notes by responding to Frow’s questions about genre on p. 10-11 and taking War of the Worlds (Wells [1898] and/or Welles [1938]) as your example. Note: Be sure to indicate which version of War of the Worlds you are discussing and sign your name on your posting.
