Thursday, February 12

We read and analyzed more poems by Emily Dickinson: "Tell all the Truth but tell it slant," "Because I could not stop for Death," and "I heard a Fly buzz when I died."

HW for Monday, February 23:
Read pages 450-62 in the textbook. Write an essay which resembles the last page- and-a-half of the selection from Life on the Mississippi (pp. 461-2), in which Mark Twain describes the gains and losses of learning the science of piloting a riverboat. What similar experience have you had?
