Myth and Legend
READ ALERT ----BRAM STOKER''S DRACULA
Boy, did you enjoy your guest lecturer or what? I think it is interesting to explore the way humans make sense of their world. Each has his/her unique approach. Kudos to Zack for his wonderful lecture on his personal approach to spirituality. One thing I think that comes across from studying myths and legends is that there is nothing new under sun. Human thought connects us through time and space.
This week we will complete your presentations of Arthurian legend and Excalibur came in!!!!!!!!! So we will view the film and discuss the cinematic representation of the legend.
Senior English CATCHING UP! CATCHING UP!
This week we will complete the Canterbury tales.
We will continue to discuss the socio-economic and political implications of the tales by focusing in on The Wife of Bath's Prologue and Tale. After reading and completing the work packet for Miller's Tale and The Wife of Bath's Tale, we will listen to a professor from the Great Courses Series explain the socio-economic, political, and aesthetic nature of the work. Then we will write an essay.
