Honors English 11
- Tonight, you're going to read one of the most famous, and most analyzed, poems in American literature. It's called "The Lovesong of J. Alfred Prufrock." It's awesome, and weird, and the kind of thing that you might feel like you totally "get" and totally don't get, all at the same time.
- As you read "Prufrock," you should annotate it. Make notes about images, ideas and themes that you see that connect to The Great Gatsby. Even though this poem isn't about Gatsby per se, there are many potential connections. Once you've finished annotating, write down some of your observations on a separate sheet of paper.
- Don't worry if you feel like you don't entirely understand what the poem MEANS. No one does. Or, everyone does, but everyone has his or her own idea. Just enjoy it for the images, the ideas, and the understandings you take away.

- Tonight, you'll read Chapter 17 in Frankenstein. It's short, but important, so read it carefully. Victor's creation has requested, nay DEMANDED, that Victor create for him a lady friend. What do you think he should do?
- Here's the TED Talk we watched today. Remember, there was a method to my madness...a reason for showing this talk while we're discussing Frankenstein. What is it, do you think?
