Finish the questions for William Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily"!
Friday was test day! If you still need to write it, study your Powerpoint notes on irony, conflict, plot, characters, point of view, didactic writing, theme and symbolism. Missing any notes? Try my old online notes here.

Review the basic plot and characters of “Say Yes”, “How Much Land Does A Man Need?", “Boys and Girls”, “Hills Like White Elephants” and "The Story of an Hour".

Did you complete your essay on the following essay question: "What is courage?"?

English 11 Block 3: Homework for Monday, April 1

If you didn't write the in-class comparison essay, remember that it cannot be written at home. That's what in-class means! Prepare two different outlines for 1) "Wordsmith" and "The Gold Mountain Coat" (contrast the relationships of the fathers with their children) AND 2) "The Painted Door" and "The Sound of Hollyhocks" (compare and contrast the characters of John and Bill Ranson). We'll flip a coin!
