7/8th: Please carefully re-read the first full paragraph on page 86 (top of the page before chapter 16). Then, preform your first "close reading" of this small writing sample. Focusing on this paragraph alone, please form an arguement (with a thesis as your topic sentence) that demonstrates WHAT MARK TWAIN IS ACCOMPLISHING WITH THIS PARAGRAPH. Why is it important? Is it establishing a characteristic of Huck? Furthering a conflict? What? Be sure to TYPE this assignment and double-space it to receive full credit. If this will be a problem, email me ahead of time to let me know. *Also, remember you have a vocabulary quiz on Monday, and your plot map is due on Wednesday.
9/10th: Please write an argumentative paragraph with evidence where you identify the main difference (thematically, event-wise, physically or emotionally) between Beowulf's two battles thus far (with Grendel and Grendel's mother). Since this is a comparision essay between to things, you will need to give evidence from BOTH battles to prove your point completely. Be sure to TYPE this assignment and double-space it to receive full credit. If this will be a problem, email me ahead of time to let me know.
