We are ending our unit on the Romantics and Transcendentalism. Our next literary period is known as American Realism. Before we leave the Romantics I would like for you to write an author profile on Herman Melville. Please turn this profile in on November 19th.
In addition- Read Melville's What Redburn Saw in Launcelott's-Hey (Just so you know in my head when I read the title I hold the "hey" out for a long time. Like- Heeeeeeeeeey!)
http://www.angelfire.com/ma2/danimal/p&w&q/write5.html and write a short 3 paragraph essay as described in the following paragraph:
The Redburn we meet at the beginning of this narrative is different from the Redburn described in the end. Write a three paragraph essay describing the change of character for your classmates. In the first paragraph describe the qualities-actions and attitudes that the young sailor initially displays. In the second paragraph describe the same characteristics as displayed at the end of the narrative. Finally- write a paragraph in which you make a generalization about the influence that his encounter with evil has had on Redburn. These three paragraphs are due on November 19th in class.
Blog Question this week: None.
