The bottom line:  there were too few people to do anything.  I know, you called it.  But I just wasn't sure . . .

So FOR TOMORROW--
As it was:

•  Make sure you have read the Letters portion of Frankenstein.  Find/take note of ways in which they reveal the thematic springboards I gave you yesterday.  (1st--sorry about the duplicate list; I'd intended to cut the paper again into "bookmark"-sized pieces).  The list:  Nature, Education, Parents/Children, Destiny, Justice, Knowledge, Friendship/Companionship (or its absence)
• 
  
• "The Sick Rose" --Reread and ponder.  Find an appropriate set of metaphorical meanings beyond the apparent literal meaning of the text.  Make sure that your ideas are "cohesive"--that is, the parts fit together into some coherent metaphorical level of interpretation. If you were absent on Tuesday, there are six words or phrases that require some meaning beyond the literal:  Rose =, worm = , howling storm =, bed =, secret love =, thy life = 

Finally, if your Pygmalion work isn't on turnitin.com, it's quite overdue.  The folder is still open.
