2. A Psalm of Life by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow–Read and annotate the poem  with a focus on theme. Most importantly, answer this question: What makes this a poem? Annotate and answer the question on the printed poem.

3. Common Human Emotions–Remember, at the end of class I wanted you to identify (to the best that you are able) the emotion with which you are most closely acquainted…good, bad, or in between.  All you have to do is identify that emotion. We will work with them a bit tomorrow.

HW10 due 2/4: Slaughterhouse Five and More

February 3, 2015 By

1. Writing Workshop–In preparation for your SH5 thesis, craft a discussion question whose answer would be a thesis. Remember, begin this process by choosing a subject to focus your question on (think of the examples from the end of class). A sample question:

It has been suggested that Vonnegut uses supporting characters (i.e. Edgar Derby, Paul Lazarro, and Roland Weary) to portray the modern American psychological paradigm. Further, this paradigm creates the socio/political atmosphere necessary to fuel the war machine. How do the supporting characters in V’s SH5 help to shape the 20th Century American mindset necessary to the war effort? (This question is clearly focused on the subject of V’s use of supporting characters)

I want to see the process leading up to your question! Keep your chosen evidence in mind (homework from last week) when crafting your question.

2. Class Forum–1984 Skeleton Essay

2. Class Vocab–Print out and have in class on Tuesday.

3. The Alchemist–This is the translation of The Alchemist that we will use if you are interested in buying your own copy.
