To the Sea of Ice

From your prompt yesterday and our discussion today, the characterization of the creature, Adam, the fallen angel, whatever moniker we shall call him after tomorrow's debate, has reached fruition. The child scrambling for human contact, the angst-driven teenager acting out, and the adult regretting his immoral violence have combined to the final plunge into the sea of ice.

And with his supposed end (I mean he could be out there swimming with Edna for all we know), you received your essay assignment for the Mary Compare and Contrast, uniting the two women's writings in an analysis of their ideologies. This is due Thursday, March 30, so you have plenty of time to formulate their common bond and their divergent approaches to the same issues.

As for Spring Break assignment, you are to read The Importance of Being Earnest - either from a textbook, your own copy, or the digital links provided in the previous blog. Complete a book card for the play. It's probably going to be our last book card, so do take some care to make it pretty and engaging and informative.

We will continue to watch movie clips tomorrow and then determine our progeny's true name. There will also be a vocabulary quiz. I'm going to try something different, which I hope you will enjoy at the end of class tomorrow.
