Happy Valentine's Day...the Costal twins get a little stronger everyday. Though Henry is still in intensive care, he is doing much better. Thank you for all your thoughts and well wishes.
For this week, please keep reading Huck Finn through Chapter 13. Mr. Sera will also be intermittingly assigning you work to prepare you for the exam (only two and a half months to go).
For each day, you will also have a journal to write.
For each day, you will also have a journal to write.
Monday's journal: For Chapters 4 - 6, write about a few instances in which "society" fails Huck, Jim and/or Pap. How does the failure occur, and what is Twain trying to say about the conventions of civilized life?
Tuesday's Journal: Return to Jackson Island. It's baaaaaaaaack...how does the symbolic nature of Jackson's Island different this time around. What does the island symbolize to Huck and then Jim, how is this different than in Tom Sawyer?
Wednesday's Journal: Discuss the episode with Huck and the rattlesnake. What metaphor could Twain be harkening here? Discuss why you think the way you do.
Check the blog everyday for further assignments.
