Monday, 1/30: Reading

* Pray (for babies)

* Journal 32 Reviewed

* This week we will have a M.C. practice test.

* Austen questions will now be oral. You do not need to fill in answers any longer; simply keep up with the reading and look over the guide for what I will be asking.

J32

I.  Notes and Terms (don't forget to provide a literary example or sentence for each term defined)
* allusion
* third-person limited point of view
* stream of consciousness
* first-person point of view  
* objective (or dramatic) point of view

* a posteriori or inductive reasoning
* general principle

* conclusion
* categorical syllogism

II. Story, ch. 5: Point of View: Example story: "The Swimmer" by John Cheever, pg. 607, on Focus.
Response question: In a well-developed paragraph, examine the role of the point of view in supporting the central idea of the story.

III. Poetry, ch. 8: Allusion. I will list the poems and the questions. This will tighten our scope and make your work clearer and easier.

Get the Poetry Foundation app for your iPad, please. The poems are scattered in Perrine's (use the appendix--back of the book--to locate by title or author).

Review and Remember: "Dulce et Decorum Est" by Wilfred Owen, "Terence, this is stupid stuff" by A.E. Houseman, "Never Again Would Bird's Song be the Same" by Robert Frost

New to consider: "The Destruction of Sennarcherib" by Lord Byron, "Journey of the Magi" by T.S. Eliot, "Nothing Gold can Stay" by Robert Frost, "Kubla Kahn" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, "Sailing to Byzantium" by William Butler Yeats

Optional: "The Abortion" by Anne Sexton

Choose two poems to answer this one question:
1. In a well-developed paragraph, explain how one allusion significantly strengthens the poem in terms of its power (density, intensity), imagery, and central meaning.

IV.  Austen: Read 10 chapters (through ch. 35)
