AP Lit: finish reading Act 1, prepare for the presentations tomorrow

Shakespeare's Birthday! Thanks for reading  / reciting to our younger classes tomorrow. As the AP Lit class, you represent our best and brightest English students this year so your enthusiasm for and understanding of the literary arts is worth sharing. Thank you!!

Tonight (for Wed.'s class) Make notes on the main characters: Charley, Bernard, Linda, Willy, Biff and Happy.

Answer: What attitude toward the American dream is revealed in Act 1? Be sure to provide quotations to support your opinion. Post-it notes are fine.

How does Miller reveal this attitude?

Look for examples of

• set design
• character development
• motifs / symbols: hand, star, names Loman, Willy, Happy etc
• stream of consciousness
• syntax
• tone
• character foil 

Make sure you send Terra your bios!! 

If you forgot to submit your edited Hamlet essay draft, bring it to class. Also, quotation logs.
