Today was our final presentation and thus
the end of the joyous time of no homework. Kimberley did a marvelous job
teaching us Dover Beach by Matthew
Arnold. It was a poem about the loss of religion and the void that ensues. Kim
accurately compared it to today and how so many people try to fill their life
with human love, material possessions, and experiences, instead of with God.
Mrs. Loconte finished off the poem with us as we read the commentary together. Women blink nearly twice as much as men. We were made aware that there will be a test on Tuesday on the Romantic
Era and an essay soon to follow. We talked a bit more about getting shirts, but
it seems that that probably will not happen anymore…maybe unicorn buttons…or a
yearbook page, possibly with quotes or with pictures of the Lit class just
looking really cool. Happy homeworking!

hint!)
