Write about 2 passages or lines from pages 108-111 that take on a new meaning in light of our discussion today. Remember we were looking at Frankenstein and his monster being two halves of the same being, and we discussed repression. Do you see anything related to these themes? Any hidden conflicts for Victor?
You need to reference an earlier post in your own post. This requires, as in the debate, re-stating their main idea, and then adding to it or disagreeing with it. (The first person to post gets off free from this requirement!)
To post: click on comments. Then select "Name/URL" and type your name. If you're anonymous I won't know you did the work.
Post is due by midnight tonight (Thursday).
Use this space to engage with our texts, with each other, and with your confusion.

Dickinson 2
Read poems 107, 187, 45, and 498. Poem 498 is long and challenging, and this poem will be the focus of your blog post. Your blog post should use one of the other poems to help figure out poem 498, and it should reference a previous post. I'm looking for half an hour of serious engagement.
107: “The nearest Dream recedes – unrealized”
187: “Except the Heaven had come so near
45: “Did the Harebell loose her girdle”
498: “What mystery pervades a well!”

Dickinson #1
In this first post, simply free-write for 20-30 minutes on one of the following poems you read tonight: 142, 327, 374, 54. Start your post with the number of the poem you've chosen.
Your post should touch on three things: something specific you understand, something specific you do not understand, and an idea about the poem as a whole.
I'm grading these only on the seriousness and effort you apply to them.
Due before the start of class Thursday.
