Blog Post 3/3

1. Engage in a blog discussion of "Dover Beach" by Matthew Arnold (uncle of our friend Aldous Huxley) and "Church Going" by Philip Larkin. Both have a similar theme, but what a difference in tone! These take time, but are both worth it -- two of my favorites in this book.

2. Answer the questions following the poems and bring them on Monday.

Have a relaxing weekend - I know it's been a busy few weeks.

“Musee de Beaux Arts"

This is a poem to be worked in your journal, to go along with the poems worked in class.  Here is the picture that goes along with the poem:

Friday Essays

Considering that I already extended the deadline, there will be no extensions for the essay due Friday.  I truly understand the time constraints under which everyone is working, but the bed we make is the one in which we sleep.

Late papers will not be docked 40% (like most late assignments), but will have 15 points subtracted (it will be worth 75 points).

Best,

Newsflash!

Your 4-5 page essay for "Siren Song" and "Barbie Doll" will be due Friday instead of Wednesday.  To repeat, 2/27 instead of 2/25.

You're welcome ;)

I hope people, as instructed a million times, are checking the blog every day, or this change could be a frustrating one.
