Homework: April 24

Honors English 11

  • Today, we chatted about the book--lots of ideas and opinions! Tomorrow we'll talk symbolism, and we'll start thinking about your own essays that you'll write.
  • Tonight, read the essay "A Whole Heap of Ashes." It's from a book called Twenty-Five Books that Shaped America by Thomas C. Foster. Make notes on it, annotating the significant ideas and noting the places where you agree, disagree, or have questions about the author's idea. We'll chat tomorrow.

  • We're reading along through Frankenstein. Today, we clarified the whole story of Safie and her family. This isn't the first family in this book that has fallen into poverty and ruin, right? As you read chapters 15 and 16, you're going to find out a LOT about the Creature and his story. Look for:
    • A "meeting"
    • A violent act
    • A request
