Homework for the Trip

Read Emily Dickinson pages 546-556

Answer questions 1-8 on page 556.  Also write a theme for each of Dickinson and Whitman's poems.  Note, that you will later have to compare a theme from Huckleberry Finn to another text:

Unit Learning Goal: Students will demonstrate knowledge of nineteenth century foundation works of American Literature by analyzing satire in Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and relating one of its main themes to another text and issue of the time.  

Also, do page 557 - WRITING TO COMPARE.  Make sure you cite specific lines.  This should be a 1-page essay.  (Those of you back on Monday can do this in class).

Today's objective: Reading and understanding themes from Whitman.  

We will read 538-540 and answer 1-6 and 9 on page 541.
