Loconte Likes Literature

Devo's on Thursday were twice as nice as we heard from both Jeff and Joseph (Happy Belated, btw). Turns out some things are true and some things are not, that's just the way it is. And nobody likes taking tests. They are akin to getting your teeth pulled.

That being the case, you probably didn't like Thursday's class which was all test. I am currently reviewing the answers upon student request. Perhaps the marks will go up, perhaps not. We shall see.

Tonight's mission, should you choose to accept it, is to read George Herbert's Easter Wings. Seeing how he was a metaphysical poet, you should look for a paradox in this work.
Secondly, please read To His Coy Mistress. With this poem we move into the 'Carpe Diem' thinkers.
Answer the 'Study and Discussion' questions for both, and, as always, read their bio's.
Poetry assignment due date is fast approaching. Use this weekend to start outlining and rough drafting if you have not done so already.

Lastly, see if you can present a real-life paradox to the class on Monday.
Consider this: We get inoculations that give us an illness- in order to protect us from that illness.

Devo's for Monday: Me...Jeff, at ease, student.
Have a wonderful windblown weekend.
