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.

Due Tuesday:

evoke
colloquial
self-effacing
concision
amalgamation
brusque
propensity
nebulous

For each word, you must provide

1. a brief definition
2. a sentence using the word to help you make an interesting, analytical observation about the Old Man and the Sea.

(This is just like what we did for Huck Finn.)
