IN CLASS ON FRIDAY
There were two fairly fast-paced pieces of written work, one on poetry, the other on Crime and Punishment.  

*To absent people:

• The poetry portion needs to be done at school, and will take 28 minutes to complete.  If you can do this after school on Monday, you'll do the same thing as the rest of the class.  After Monday, you'll do a substitute poem.
• For Crime and Punishment, I will give you a hand-out tomorrow and complete instructions for my out-of-class expectations; it will be due on Tuesday.  

FOR EVERYONE, LOOKING TO MONDAY

Bring Perrine.  It will be a poetry day, completely.  

In preparation, look over the front sections of several chapters:

• Chapter 10 on Tone:  Remember that tone is essentially a product/result of language use and specific literary devices, not a "device" in and of itself.
• Also review the devices treated in the three chapters on Figurative Language:
• Ch. 5--Simile, Metaphor, Personification, Apostrophe, Metonymy
• Ch. 6--Symbol (don't worry about Allegory)
• Ch. 7--Paradox, Overstatement, Understatement, Irony

You're not expected to explore the many poems that follow the intro matter, but DO trace through the authors' discussion of the poems treated in the front sections of these chapters.  I am not requiring writing on this reading, but you owe it to yourself to study this material thoughfully and carefully.

Re: Crime and Punishment--

I'm sliding the originally assigned dates by one day each:

By Tuesday--Be finished reading Parts VI and VII

By Wednesday--Be finished with the Epilogues

There will be a written assignment related to the epilogues assigned on Tuesday that will be due on Thursday. So don't expect further "catch-up time" on Dostoesvsky.  Finish this out promptly.
