April 9, 2009
There are only 7 weeks of school left!  Can you believe it!  For homework during the break, assess how much work you'll have in your other classes and act accordingly.  You need to have finished both The Great Gatsby and As I Lay Dying by April 30.  If you were to finish both novels during the break, no one would be upset, especially YOU!

During the last 7 weeks, here's what we need to accomplish:
1. Career Research Paper.  This is a compare and contrast paper between two careers in which you have an interest.  You will argue that one career is a better choice than the other using logos, ethos, and pathos.  Easy!  We'll begin this project when you return from break.

2.  Essay on either As I Lay Dying or The Great Gatsby.  You will have your choice of the two novels to write a 4-paragraph essay on an AP prompt.  This essay and the career project will be the last two out of class essays, most likely.  

3.  Test on modernism, As I Lay Dying and The Great Gatsby.  This will entail all the usual bubbledy, bubbledy, sentence patterny, vocaby, ploty, charactery questions you've grown to groan over.  Or you may like them.  It's a mystery we must explore.

4. Read The Cather in the Rye and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.  These will be our last two novels for the year.  Catcher is easy.  Many students read it in a weekend.  Several have read it in ONE DAY!  Nevertheless, there is much to discuss.  But it won't take much time to read it.  Cuckoo's Nest is equally engaging, but a bit more dense, dense verbally, not thematically.  Both novels have many themes, symbols and some narrative techniques to explore.  So you'll have to devote some time to reading Kesey's novel.  

5. Before you know it, it will be June.  

6. And you attend the graduation ceremony this June that you will attend next year when it is your June when you are watching yourself graduate, you walking on the lawn, across the lawn walking.  

7. In the stands you sit, the seats not at right angles, perpendicular to the white blinding spot above, marking time with shadows that stretch on like lectures about modernism and stream of consciousness.  How modern, yet old.  Paradox, but I can only see once at a time.  Second opinion.  Both bad.  Better exercise.  Begin with the fingers, typingtypingtyping . . .

8.  Stands for sitting.  They made them on the bevel.  

9.  Your homework is a fish.

10. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

You will understand steps 5-10 when you finish As I Lay Dying.

Enjoy your break!  

Mr. Haskett

May your houses be safe from tigers!
