Monday, February 28

Students took notes on the beginning of Into the Deep, a PBS documentary about American whaling in the 17th through 19th centuries, focusing in their notes especially on those parts of the film which refer to Herman Melville and his masterpiece Moby Dick.

HW due Wednesday:
Read pp. 311-27 in Elements of Literature, which include a biography of Herman Melville and two excerpts from Moby Dick. There will be a quiz to begin class on Wednesday over the film and the readings. Notes on the film will be turned in at that time as well.
