Where to find terms and extra grammar and MLA info.?
You may ask, "Mr. Schwager, what should I do to find a definition that's not from Perrine's or a part of Turco's .pdf...other places have such long and various definitions."
Well, I'm glad you asked. This is an alphabetical list that covers most terms (besides Turco's advanced terms): Cummings Study Guide Terms.
Or, you may ask, "Mr. Schwager, the Bedford book is kind of funky to work with online. Is there a good site that has similar info. in a better format for me to review or learn from? MLA review?"
Why, yes, there's the OWL at Purdue:
Writing and Grammar
MLA
These sites and Bedford have all been added to as a link list below the label on the right side of the blog for convenience.
Enjoy,
Mr. S

Monday, 11/14: Perrine's Poetry
* Read a Psalm together
* Perrine's Ch. 1
Perrine's has been one of the most influential literature texts in America since the 1950's. Originally, these were two books, Sound and Sense (poetry), and Story and Structure (fiction). Later, these were combined into one book: Structure, Sound, and Sense. Any edition is fine. My links will be to the 8th edition.
