Second hour started off strong with their Grendel analysis and how the syntax, yellow symbolism, and (ahem) word choice reflected our baby Grendel struggling with his understanding of self, animals, and humans. As this is a short novel (with big print too), we will be moving forward through Grendel's mentality and interactions with the outside world at a rapid pace, which is probably how the book should be read with its stream of consciousness flow. For both classes, you will be reading chapters 5-7 for the block day, and I would pay special attention to chapter 5.
2: Vocab review, followed by our analysis of The Wife's Lament, followed by 3/7 of our Grendel Chs. 1-4 discussion.
6: Vocab review, followed by our finish of Gilgamesh, our look at The Iliad, and the start of Grendel. You also have The Wife's Lament for reading this evening.
