All right, boys. As Coolio once said, "Come along and ride on a fantastic voyage." (Check the video on YouTube if you don't know who he is. Coolio "Fantastic Voyage"...Thank me later.)
So as I told you before, the blog will be a place for you to post your thoughts and ideas. For other business, email will take care of that. For tomorrow, please print the story "Miriam" by Truman Capote https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WZPLVZU3dVxqMKkpRxGJCauyvNRN6p2_TUFiCK-XqrE/edit . Be sure to read it. Discussions happen in small groups tomorrow. Remember to discuss character, themes, motifs, and larger meaning of the text.
For your second task, I present to you the poem "Hollow Men" by T.S. Eliot. http://poetry.poetryx.com/poems/784/ After you read it, in the comment box below, discuss the greater appeal of the poem. What is Eliot's larger reasoning for writing this poem? Do you notice any figurative language techniques he uses? What effect do they give to the poem? Blast off below for your first taste of comment madness. Remember to identify yourself at end of post. Have fun.
Mr. Gaba
By the way, my wife and baby are fine.
