"Innocence is drowned" anyone else thinking of Ophelia?

Brody is unable to blog today, so I'm filling in. On Tuesday we did The Second Coming by Yeats and Dulce et Decorum Est by Owen.  Both are rather grim poems.  The Second Coming deals with cycles of history and mankind's loss of reason.  Dulce deals with a gas attack in WWI.

Homework:
- Make sure you've read Pretty (pg 961) by Stevie Smith and Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night (pg 979) by Dylan Thomas
- Read The Hollow Men (pg 952) by T.S. Eliot
- Continue to work on your Hamlet Essay
- Bonus assignment due tomorrow.

We need to decide if we are going to go to Hamlet or not.  If everyone could be ready to say if they can come on the 22nd or not, we can order tickets this weekend.  Thanks guys!
