2. Lit/terms exam
HW:
1. Please post this week's (list #4) lit terms on your blog by COB this Friday (Jan 31)
2. Reminder: literature analysis #1 is due on your blog by COB this Friday (Jan 31)
3. Read this quote:
"What is it that makes you want to write songs? In a way you want to
stretch yourself into other people's hearts. You want to plant yourself
there, or at least get a resonance, where other people become a bigger
instrument than the one you're playing. It becomes almost an obsession
to touch other people. To write a song that is remembered and taken to
heart is a connection, a touching of bases. A thread that runs through
all of us. A stab to the heart. Sometimes I think songwriting is about
tightening the heartstrings as much as possible without bringing on a
heart attack." -Keith Richards
4. Answer this question in a post to your blog entitled WHAT'S THE STORY? (due Tue 1.28)
Why did Charles Dickens write the novel you're reading/reviewing? What in your analysis of literary techniques led you to this conclusion?
(Make sure to include textual support illustrating Dickens' use of at
least three techniques we've studied/discussed this year.)
5. Watch Dr. Tony Williams's Gresham College lecture on A Tale of Two Cities (below); take notes and post them to your blog (Title: Tale of Two Cities Lecture Notes)
