First Impressions (DP)


What's going on whutters!?!?...After reading the first five chapters of Plath's The Bell Jar, write a minimum of three paragraphs in your notebooks in response to how you feel about her work in general, how she integrates specific devices into the narrative, apparent and underlying themes, interesting quotes, and the importance of this novel in accordance with U.S. history...always ask yourselves, 'What do I think about this novel? This writer? This time period?' Do you feel that the first five chapters spark a certain interest in you? Be well, and have this response/reaction ready for Tuesday, November 3.
