Lit 12, Monday, March 28

We reviewed the material, forms, themes and literary terms from Unit 2. We started reading Paradise Lost. Be sure to get the notes as you will need them.

We are having a test on Unit 2. Thursday. All of the core material plus the supplemental poems will be examined. Same format as Unit 1: 30 multiple choice questions and a literary essay.

Tonight: Study--sonnet forms, sonnets we read, metaphysical and Cavalier poetry components and the poems that match. Make sure you understand the political and religious divisiveness in England during the 17th century. Study Milton and his belief in divine inspiration and his Puritan ideals.

Be sure to memorize quotations and be able to recognize paradox, parody, metonymy, synechdoche, conceits, invocation, epic similes, and the terms from unit 1.

Make it a habit to review on a nightly basis.
