Important Note to Students

The HAMLIT assignment page is a convenience but not something to be dependent on. When possible, homework and reading assignments will be posted here, but you are expected to complete all assignments that are announced in class on time, regardless of whether they are posted online. If you are absent, or do not remember if there is an assignment, you will need to contact another member of class to verify what the assignment is. Neither I nor the site are responsible for your failure to complete this responsibility.

Many of you still owe me the reading of "Jilting of Granny Weatherall" and "A Worn Path". Bring honor to yourself and your pod by getting caught up.

Remember, your Citation Outline is due on Monday. Check the link on the Research paper page for information. The first part of the document outlines how you will want to go through the process of narrowing down your quotations. A sample citation outline is the last part of the document. A condensed version is available below:


Citation Outline:

Observation: Huck is a vampire.
Importance: Twain criticizes mistreatment of African Americans.
POA: 1. Pap 2. Duke and the King

Thesis: Huck acts metaphorically as a vampire, sucking the life and prosperity out of other characters when it best suits him, and discarding them when he has the chance. By portraying Huck in this fashion, Twain draws a parallel between Huck and Southern society, and through Huck’s interactions with Pap and the Duke and the King, criticizes the South’s continued mistreatment of African-Americans.
