Remember to read everything three times and annotate it. This will be a part of all of our assignments.
1. Read and do work in textbook pages 27-33 (This is the one assignment you don't have to annotate or read 3 times)
2. Find at least 2 allusions in "Religious Learnings" by E. E. Cummings. Write down the biblical reference for the allusion.
3. Listen to/read the lyrics to Faust, Midas and Myself by the band Switchfoot, and the song Liar Liar by the Fine Frenzy. Research these classical allusions and write 3 paragraphs on how these artists use allusion to create meaning. HINT: use specific examples in the lyrics to back up your opinion.
4. Originally I was going to have you blog on achilles heel (and if you still choose to do that you will not be deducted points) BUT I think that you might enjoy this more:
Read On His Blindness by John Milton and read Matthew 25:14-30 and explain the biblical allusion in this poem.
Bonus/ Extra work
Continue to read the Count of Monte Cristo
Read and find the allusion in this poem:
Robert Frost "Never Again Would Birds' Song Be the Same"
