Marx, and not Bernard

After we read Brave New World as our book club selection this year, you will probably have a better understanding of the title of this blog post.

1. The free response prompts were returned with a plethora of 9 scores reflecting the usage of characterization, milieus, various critical theories, and multiple examples from your selected texts.
2. The overall score of your AP tests were stellar: thirteen 9 scores this time around.
3. We read our common poet tone paragraphs featuring some variegated results of that nature walker Wordsworth in the big city, that innocently experienced Blake, and that saucy Bryon with his ever present Boatswain.
4. We turned in the 3 tone charts and the tone paragraph.
5. We read "To the Men of England" by Shelley to transition from our Romantic poets into the realm of Marxist criticism. Time to start using terms such as proletariat and bourgeoisie to analyze the social class structures.
6. You have my beloved Heathcliff in your possession. Read the Emily Bronte bio in the back and make sure you understand the family tree in the front of the novel.
