Our Carpe Diem poems were brought to you today by Robert Herrick https://www.poets.org/poetsorg/poem/virgins-make-much-time, Christopher Marlowe https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems-and-poets/poems/detail/44675, and Sir Walter Raleigh https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems-and-poets/poems/detail/44939. As noted in class, we have a great deal of lyrics, ballads, and pastoral poems abounding in this poetic genre. Plus, each one offers a different persona, showing how Carpe Diem is not only about seducing young ladies with reminders that they will eventually lose their hotness, die, and commune with worms.
Lots of stuff to work on for AP Lit including the finishing of your character blogs for King Lear prior to the start of your class time on Thursday. Even if absent, that time is the marker for completion of the assignment. In addition, you have book card 4 due on Friday. Oh, there is a box prompt, a poetry test, a poetry prompt, and maybe The Metamorphosis all around the corner.
