I apologise for not writing for a week on this blog. Events have robbed me of the time that is needed to properly keep giving you what is needed.
The following is what will be needed to complete this semester in the area of literature. Read each piece and tell me what you think the author intended to deliver to the reader when it was written. A paragraph or two (at least eight sentences) should be devoted to the task. You can also point out some of the things that you found interesting or not when you read the poem. Talk about its rhyme (if there is) and the rhythym. Have this completed by the end of the first week that you come back from school. I would suggest that you start it now.
Dylan Thomas, Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night
Robert Frost, Design
Gary Soto, Oranges
Edgar Allen Poe, The Raven
Joy Harjo, The Woman Hanging From the Thirteenth Floor Window
Gwendolyn Brooks, We Real Cool
Langston Hughes, Dream Boogie
Sharon Olds, The Death of Marilyn Monroe
John Updike, Dog's Death
James Thurber, The Girl and the Wolf
