MEET AT THE TOASTED YOLK ON THURSDAY AT 8:15 A.M. I will probably be a little late because I will come to school in case someone needs a ride. HOMEWORK:
Read Chapter 2 of Heart of Darkness through the paragraph that begins: "The current was more rapid now." As you read, think about the discussion we had today concerning Conrad's use of irony, satire, juxtaposition, and imagery. Look through Chapter 1. Can you find another excerpt that you believe Exam Preparers might choose because of its richness in writing style? Mark it and bring it to breakfast on Thursday. Make sure to write a quick annotation as to why you chose the excerpt.
EXTRA CREDIT NEWS AND APOLOGY:
Forgive me:
Last time I posted, I forgot to include the alternative extra credit assignment. You may watch Mel Gibson's version of Hamlet and meet with me during a lunch period to discuss elements of the play that may come up on the AP exam. As we have seen in poetry ("Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"), Hamlet is, probably along with Macbeth, one of the most quoted works of Shakespeare. This shows up through literary allusion over and over again, so a review is a great idea. Mrs. Dudley has a copy of this film that we share; she said you could borrow it from her.
I also received my copy of The Serpent's Kiss in the mail. If you would like to watch that together when you return from New York, let me know. We could also watch it after school the Monday we get back from Spring Break if that helps.
In either case, we will need to discuss by March 18, or Tuesday of that week.
