For the balance of term, these notes are also posted to angryverbs.blogspot.com, as they have been all term.
Also, when emailing me, use BOTH my addresses; as an adjunct I don't access the Angelina site every day.

Monday night:
A. Expository writing
1. Continue figurative language (handout)
a. Symbols
i. Universal / cultural
ii. Local / personal / authorial
b. Allegory
c. Fable, parable, myth
d. Allusions
B. Poem for analysis: "Stoppy by Woods on a Snowy Evening," Robert Frost, handout.
1. We will close-read this for symbols (and was Mr. Frost being coy when he insisted the poem was to be taken literally?).
2. Consider the matter of the commas in line 13, and how their use affects meaning.
3. Anticipate an essay, but this will not be assigned until next week.
C. Research papers
1. The one-on-one consultations with the instructor are officially over; however, I will waive my own rule on this occasion and see what I can do for you.
2. Ad lib work in library to 8:40 P.M.
Reminders:
The 16th is your due-date for your research paper for an extra 10 points for early submission.
The 23rd is your official due-date.
The 30th is your NLT (not later than) date. No research papers will be accepted after this date; given that the assignment was made in January, all the tiresome excuses (my printer broke; you can ask my parents, and so on) are invalid.
Bibliographies -- As noted several times in class, some of you are using APA, Chicago, or other styles, but we are following the MLA. I think this slippages comes from using bibiography programs on the 'puter, which is excellent, but be sure you instruct the device to work your bibliography / works cited as MLA.
