Ms. Phillips hw 2/24

Lit. classes: Go to wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Duchamp__Nude_Descending_a_Staircase.jpg to familiarize yourself with this painting.  If you expect to be absent, you must get the class notes-or you will never know how this work of art is related to the sentence structure in Catch-22 (and Slaughterhouse-Five).  If you would rather watch Big Bang Theory reruns than do hw, please note that quite a few artists anticipated quantum superposition and the spacetime continuum…
