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 2/19

Today we read the poems "Richard Cory" and "Miniver Cheevy" and discussed how they demonstrate some qualities of Realism. You'll be writing a paragraph just like the Whitman paragraph, but instead focusing on how Robinson uses literary devices to support a Realist theme. You might consider having that theme address ideas of disillusionment, falsehood, frustration etc. Refer to the previous post for more information.
