The Narrator & His Neighbor

How classes were alike: we shared our tone letters from the Romantic poets, allowing all of us to hear variants of rhymes, references to poems, and incorporation of alliteration and other literary elements 

How classes were unique:

2: We began Wuthering Heights, over-analyzing the first three pages and how Lockwood reflects the judgmental upper classes and Heathcliff, though of black eyes, gypsy background, and surly, animalistic behavior, is slowly dismantling the class system as his abode crumbles around him (thanks, Sky, for that profound observation). For Thursday's class, you will need chapters 1-7 complete; for Friday's class, you will need chapters 8-14 ready.

5: In groups, we over-analyzed the rest of chapter one and the beginning of chapter two for class implications, animal motifs, Lockwood's annoying habit of showing up without warning, and how Cathy 2.0 fits into this house of misfits. For homework, each of you were given a 2 page passage from the novel to super close-read, which means a lot of circling, underlining, and notes for you to present those pages to the class. 

Oh, absentees of any reason, you still are part of this show! While you may not be able to write in your books, you can complete this task on notebook paper or find an online edition and print out those pages.
