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.

...http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/17/arts/music/17vultures.html?_r=2 and a music review from the new york times...very interesting of a band named 'them crooked vultures' formed by dave grohl (nirvana, foo fighters), john paul jones (led zeppelin), and josh homme (queens of the stone age)...the band hasn't released an album yet, but they've sold out many shows and fans tape the shows, then bootleg (copy and distribute) their videos on youtube and other places!!! amazing...a band of famous and successful artists never makes a studio album, but claims high praise and fame...could they keep it up?

Where's Plath? (DP)

...After your brief introduction to Sylvia Plath, take a look at the following link: http://www.pbs.org/wnet/americannovel/timeline/index.html, and place Plath under one, two, or more literary movements. You've been handed a poem and can find many of her works online. Which literary movement best fits Plath's voice? View the descriptions of the literary movements that span the timeline. Which seems like your favorite? If you were a writer (maybe you are), which movement would you write under? Why? Be well.
