Suicide's Note

The calm,
Cool face of the river
Asked me for a kiss.

--Langston Hughes

Discuss the diction, sound, personification, and tone of this poem. Explore the frame of mind that would create this comparison.

Also, have “Dulcet Decorum Est” WORKED and “Terence, This is Stupid Stuff” read by Monday.

ALERT!

Make sure (period 4) that you hold on to your essays, as they are not yet in the gradebook. I tried to enter them before class today, but Esis did not register the entry. So bring them in on Thursday so I can enter them; I'll give them back to you that class period so you can get back to work on your revisions.

Great to see everybody today. I'm looking forward to a second semester filled with awesomeness.
