February 23, the day our beloved Keats left us, adrift in Rome, far from Fanny and home. Hence, the purplue shirt today to signify our elegiac thoughts to the man, the myth, the poet. Today has been a bit of a bummer otherwise. My favorite shoe company, Charlotte Olympia, has filed for bankruptcy and will be closing all of its U.S. stores. Well, at least I have Robert Walton's hubris to liven up our class today. In both classes, after vocab, we focused on pulling quotes from Letter 1 and then analyzing each one's characterization, significance to society, and how this may foreshadow a like character who shall be introduced in about two letters from now.
For homework, you are to read letters 2-4. You will then create a 2 column chart for Walton and a 2 column chart for Victor. In each box/line of the left columns, you will have quotes with citations. In each box/line of the right columns, you will have your analysis of the passage.
See you all on Monday for more talk about the AP Lit exam!
