Today we went over our homework over spring break & ended with Paradise Lost by John Milton following with some questions. For homework read pg 308 – top of 309 and answer the following questions given.

Herbert and Marvell

Today we reviewed  the Holy Sonnets and Meditation 17, and discussed George Herbert and Andrew Marvell. For homework, we must read the commentary on "To His Coy Mistress", then the poem itself, and answer questions 1-5 for Friday. We should also be thinking about what kind of arguments are presented by the author as we read this poem.

For Composition

Donne's Meditation 17 achieves both unity and diversity by stating a single theme and illustrating it with a number of variations.  Write a well articulated paragraph (give yourself 30 minutes MAX) in which you state Donne's main theme and his variations. How do the variations relate to the central theme?


Go.

Done with Donne

Hi gang,

Today we finished John Donne by looking at Holy Sonnet 6 and Holy Sonnet 10. We also dived in and had some deep discussions about Meditation 17 and doctor assisted suicide.

For homework: Check this blog. Mrs. Loconte will tell us what to do.
