APEnglish 12: January 23-27

Greetings APEs!

This week, in addition to your upload of the MWDS for Turn of the Screw, we will continue our study of John Donne and his "Meditation XVII." We will also continue with the poetry that I indicated in last week's blog. Bring your massive text books. On Friday we will have a quiz on the first half of the "P" words from the SAT list. We will also have a class discussion on the novella The Turn of the Screw. Be prepared with quotations for discussion and questions for the class. The primary questions I would like you to address is about the frame structure of the text and the reliability of the narrator of the text within the text. Can we believe the governess? Are the ghosts real? What evidence is there to support their existence or lack thereof? If they do not exist, what does this mean about the narrator, and what happened to Miles? What does all of the aforementioned contribute to the meaning of the text?

Fun, fun, fun!

See you in class!
