Oh, Blake

As evidenced in class by my growing vehement tone throughout the "Revolution" poem, I do have a hankering for Blake's writing and his questioning of faith, power, and industrialized society. For homework, you will need to close read the remaining poems -- boy, girl, Cupid if you want a preview of the content. We will be completing a tone chart and tone paragraph for this fellow, so you are welcome to start that process as well.

Plans for the rest of the semester (in a nutshell, not bounded to it or anything): Byron, Shelley, Keats, Romantic Poetry Prompt, Romantic Poetry Skit, Full Practice Test, Marxism with Wuthering Heights, Wuthering Heights Prompt, Review of multiple choice, prose passages, poetry passages, free response passage, Full Practice Test, AP Test, Brave New World Book Club. That sure seems busy!

P.S. Anyone catch the allusion in my blog post today? Just recalled why I know the alluded quote by heart: A Nightmare on Elm Street. "Were it not that I have bad dreams..."
