For Monday, August 26

Your inspiration for the weekend!

Take a look at free response prompts number 4,5, and 6 before next Wednesday.  Select one that you will write about for a practice timed essay.

Finish up the multiple choice practice we were working on today in class.

Continue reading How to Read Literature Like a Professor. You must finish the first ten chapters by August 26. Make sure you know the concepts presented in the book. Annotate in your margins or highlight important details.

Also, continue reading The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. I would like this novel finished by Monday the 26th.  Come prepared to build a bug.  Follow the instructions on your bookmark.

Think:
Why does Gregor turn into a vermin anyway?
Is this a good or a bad transformation?
Is Gregor a victim or a perpetrator?
Would Gregor (as a human) be Beowulf? Knight in Shining Armor? A Romantic? or the Modern Man?
