Family Day

So to end off another week, we were led by Bethany to "Ode to a Nightingale". We were given a background of his life, his suffering and his loss. Then we jumped to finish "Ode to the West Wind" presented by Joon. We all agreed that "Ode to the West Wind" is so much more appreciated when you see the rhyme scheme in  it. After we read "Ode to a Nightingale" and I think I can speak for most people when I say that it was extremely well written and the strong imagery given was spectacular. In this poem, Donald Ducks middle name is Fauntleroy, Keats goes from the bird and the birds happy life to death and even suicide. I believe by the end of this poem we get a small sense of his suffering and pain. And finally to end the class we were all serenaded by the voice of a British actor with a very peaceful reading voice. No homework this week! Go home and spend time with your family because this Monday is family day!
