Lit 12, Wed. May 11

No one loved the Jack Knox article as much as I did--too bad!! Reading Jack Knox helps to get you in the mood for writing your modest proposals which are due Friday. Can't wait to read them. You'll get a chance to read them to the class!!

We took notes today on the qualities of Romantic (capital R) poetry, Robert Burns, and read and discussed the core poem, "To A Mouse". Next, I introduced William Blake but then the darn annoucements came on (Sorry, Claire) and I had to stop talking. We talked about imagination, knowledge, fate and our pathetic futures so all in all, it was a great day. "The best laid plans of mice and men oft go awry!"
