What do the stars hold for you in 2001? In books, magazines, or websites, find TWO of your own personal predictions for 2001 (day, week, month, etc.) based on your sun sign-one of the two should be from www.freewillastrology.com. Then do the following:

Paragraph 1: Analyze how the two predictions are alike and/or different. Are there any contradictions in what the week, month, year, etc. holds for you? Any eerie similarities?

Paragraph 2: Now critique the horoscopes themselves. How are the writers' (or psychics') strategies alike or different? Look at length, language, tone, specificity, imagery, etc. Does the form of the horoscope influence the content? the legitimacy or believability of the predictions?

Paragraph 3: Use your comparisons and contrasts to say something about the appeal, legitimacy, believability, and/or problems of astrology. Make sure this material follows logically from what you've already written.

400-500 words. Due Thursday, February 7. Please attach copies of the horoscopes you use.
