Sophys: You have an essay due today, by the end of the day--4:30 hard copy, and midnight on www.turnitin.com. Many thanks to those of you who have already submitted. Today, in class, we are reviewing the poem we read two days ago: "The Unknown Citizen" by WH Auden, and analyzing what he satirizes in the poem, and then transitioning to another poem that features irony in a very intentional, socially-conscious way: "Ozymandias" by Shelley. TP-CASTT and other hijinks will ensue.

APees: Begin the comprehensive review of Hamlet and look at the criticism of the play from Eliot, Poe, and others. Also, we are going to review some grammatical constructs to help us in our quest for academic perfection.

Two days until Thanksgiving Break begins!
