I don't think I have laughed so hard regarding Donne, his personas, his conceits, and his way of writing about "pests" than I have today during seventh hour. I look forward to hearing what you next to have say with his remaining songs!
In regards to seventh hour only, we started with a vocab review, which means the last vocab quiz of the semester will be next time around. And don't worry if you need to add more words to your daily vernacular - after Donne and a few "little things," we have a whole poetry packet of terms to memorize! In the analysis portion of the show, we finished our sonnet analysis of Petrarch and looked at how 2 translations of the same poem can adjust the tone, imagery, and perspective, Lady! Next, we looked at persona, the speaker's character via Petrarch's "Fame" selection and Donne's "Indifferent" example. Obviously, there is quite a juxtaposition here. After going over all of Donne's biographical fun facts, we read "The Flea" and looked at this persona as well. For homework, you have one of the songs to analyze. If you were absent, you have "The Paradox" as your selection. Make sure that beyond the close reading of the song that you also describe the persona.
