Today you answered questions about H of D; we began discussing your answers. Read to page 18 or 24 depending on your text, reading to the passage that says, “I did not see the real significance of the wreck at once.”
Question 1: Describe our first narrator; what is his perception of the Thames, of England, of the Director of Companies, of Marlow?
Question 2: Describe Marlow. What is his perception of England?
Question 3: What symbolism did you notice? Suggestive imagery?
Question 4: Interesting or troubling lines so far?

Today we began HofD with an article from New Yorker magazine, “Mr. Kurtz, I Presume.” We’ll discuss it tomorrow, and you are also to read “Dover Beach” in the Perrine book (the one I assigned) and jot down answers to the questions that follow the poem.

Yesterday you presented your Hamlet graphic organizers and then we discussed Hamlet as a tragic hero. Today we talked about the effect of bringing the ghost back at the end of the play and the idea of the revenge play. Your test over Hamlet is Monday.
