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 10/27

After a lengthy history discussion today, we only had time to discuss in small groups some aspects of the story of The Devil and Tom Walker. For tomorrow, we'll use this group preparation to direct our discussion on:

The characterization of Tom, his wife, and the Devil
Themes of the story
Setting/Role of Nature
Role of the Narrator
Similarities to previous literary movements
Differences to previous literary movements

If you were absent, use these topics to help your thinking about the story.
