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 Monday and Beyond!


For Monday, you are reading the excerpt from "Walden" in your textbook. Be prepared to discuss how this demonstrates Transcendental ideas.

For Friday you will need to have read chapters 1-8 of The Scarlet Letter. Please note that we are NOT reading the introductory section called "The Custom House". Please skip this and start with the chapter called "The Prison Door".

One of your main assignments for The Scarlet Letter is to increase your vocabulary so please keep track of new words and their definitions. If this gets overwhelming, you may need to pick and choose the words that you are looking up.

An online copy is available here. Remember also that the Scarlet Letter should be a free (or super cheap) download through Kindle or IBooks. You may purchase your own paper copy if you choose and some of us will be able to check out a paper copy from the library on Monday.
