MYTH AND LEGEND
Here is the link to E.M. Berens Myths and Legends of Ancient Greece and Rome: http://www.gutenberg.org/files/22381/22381-h/22381-h.htm


It is hardly necessary to dwell upon the importance of the study of mythology: our poems, novels, and even our daily journals teem with classical allusions; nor can a visit to our museums and art galleries be fully enjoyed without something more than a mere superficial knowledge of a subject which has in all ages inspired artists of all genres.

English 9 Honors

We will continue with the work that we began last week-
We will examine plot structure -time and sequence in terms of chronological order, flashbacks, flash-forward, foreshadowing. We will study plot structure and its purpose in Sylvia Plath's "Initiation," "The Most Dangerous Game," "A Christmas Memory?" Looking for literary devices used to construct the narrative, probing how conflict works to create suspense and tension within the work and move the plot along and how setting provides background for narratives. On Friday, you will write an autobiographical narrative using these elements.

Homework: complete the readings "The Most Dangerous Game," Setting on page 60-61, the excerpt from "A Christmas Memory," page 79 writing an autobiographical narrative. Study the vocab words from the 3 short stories--"INITIATION, THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME, A CHRISTMAS MEMORY"
