Due Assignments Over Spring Break.

- Finish reading Wuthering Heights.

- Wuthering Heights Critical Essay Assignment.

Just like with Hamlet, you will be reading a critical essay of your choice from an academic source and writing an essay analyzing that essay and Wuthering Heights. I recommend using JSTOR for your research, although some of you may have a book with critical essays in it. Your essay will be 2-3 pages (doubled spaced, and MLA) with the first half presenting a summary of the critical essay using quotations from it as evidence of its premise. The second have of the essay is your evaluation of the validity of the essay's claims using quotations from WH to support your opinion. Please note that the second half of the essay must be written in formal voice, so no "I think that..." allowed. This is a time for you to learn from and model the critical voices that you have read. You MUST include a works cited page and this essay will be submitted online through Turnitin and graded on comletion/requirements. Please do not submit an essay shorter than 2 pages. Due Monday, March 31st.

Due Monday

Please read chapters 1-8 of Wuthering Heights for Monday. This is a "free domain" text, so if you did not check out or purchase a copy, it most likely can be downloaded through Kindle or iBooks free of charge. For your convenience, a link to an online copy is available here.

Due Thursday

Please print the following prose analysis passage and read and mark the text carefully. The prompt will not fit on the page, so it is reprinted below. Note that you are not writing an essay on this, but you should bring your marked text to class on Thursday.


Prompt:

The following excerpt is taken from the Victorian novel Framley Parsonage by Anthony Trollope. In it, Lucy Robarts converses with the mother of the man whose offer of marriage she has refused. Read the passage carefully and analyze what the characterization of the two women reveals about social expectations of the time.

Here is a link to the quotations we looked at today in class. 1st period, we were right on all of them.

Here is a link to an Oedipus chronology. I remember many of you taking a picture of this after our activity in class, but just in case you don't have it, it's now available to you.
