Today we finished off discussing the Passionate Shepherd and the Nymph's Response, and looked at Francis Bacon's essay "Of Studies."
Your homework this weekend is to read the section in your textbook on pages 152-153 called "The Sonnet," read Sonnet 29 on page 167, and do all the questions for both on the sheet Mrs. Loconte gave us today.
Fun Fact:
When J.R.R. Tolkien taught English Literature in university, he would start off the first day of class by waiting for all his students to enter the lecture hall before throwing open the doors at the back dramatically and striding down the aisle reciting the first 50 lines of Beowulf. In the original Old English.
