English 10 Homework for Friday, Nov. 4:

1. Tidy up the notes you took today in class: organization is essential.

2. Read the poem I gave you at the end of class, today.   

Don't go online; work it out for yourself, and grapple with the ideas and the emotions in this poem. Look up words you don't know.

You should have your own feelings and interpretation of this poem. Write down whatever you feel and think about certain lines or images. Explain the tone of the poem, as well, and what the author wants us to feel and to understand.  Develop your response, and be prepared to share it tomorrow.
