Friday, Nov. 20 Agenda

*Bell Ringer: Finish Literal and Figurative “Because I could not Stop”
*Anne Bradstreet: note check from hwk (also bring up your “Because I could not Stop” sheet)
*“The Author to Her Book” (on own or with partner)
*What lines imply Bradstreet sees herself as unworthy to write
*Interpret lines 3-5 of “The Author to Her Book”
*What do you think about her attitude that the book is a ninth child? Is this a good comparison (how are they similar or not)?
* Discussion of Bradstreet Poems
*Grab blue book: Walt Whitman
*Oh Captain! My Captain!” pg 375
*Analysis of what is the literal level, what is the figurative level (like with “Because I could…”)
*Whitman: Note check of “Oh Captain! My Captain”
*“Song of Myself” pg 368
*questions and WN due: MONDAY
*In WN: What do you think are some stylistic (format, structure, conventions) and ideological (beliefs, views, etc) similarities and differences between Dickinson (talked about her yesterday) and Whitman? Please list as many as you can think of, if you want to do a venn diagram or a chart, that’s fine.
