I ask them to take a poem
and hold it up to the light
like a color slide

or press an ear against its hive.

I say drop a mouse into a poem
and watch him probe his way out,

or walk inside the poem's room
and feel the walls for a light switch.

More Tests - Rejoice

Comedy: 2nd Internal Assessment on Friday (1 Oct 10) - on either Volpone or Twelfth Night.

AoE: 2nd IA on 5 Oct 10 (as far as I am aware)

NaM: 2nd IA on 8 Oct 10 - choice between Heart of Darkness and Madame Bovary

Shakespeare: 2nd IA, also on 8 Oct 10 - entire play; purely "textual" test - reading up on criticism not mandatory.

--

Note: Shobhadi does not think the time allotted for the class test is too short to complete 2 answers, so that remains unchanged. Also, she would like us to decide which poet to study next - Ted Hughes or Langston Hughes. Ted Hughes has been taught in this course for the last few years but she has no problem teaching LH either.

Shall make both announcements in class tomorrow as well.

Note, again: Macbeth presentations have to be made in groups of 5, cannot exceed 15 minutes and must be ready by Kali Pujo.

Thank you. Bye bye.
