Seniors: James Joyce Test 9/19

Just a friendly reminder that you will be having a test on James Joyce's Dubliners this Friday. Please study the PowerPoint notes (you can find them on this blog), and be ready to write an essay dealing with paralysis found in Dubliners. 

There will be a review session during activity period on Friday in room 159 and you must have a pass (written by me) to attend. 

Seniors: Journal Entry Due for 9/17

After reflecting on our discussions of Counterparts, Araby and A Painful Case, you should be able to piece ideas together that attempt to say the "author's intent" of these works.  In your journal, please answer the following question: 

In what ways is Joyce's characterization of the citizens of Dublin apparent through the 3 stories we have read? 

Please let me know if you have any questions. 

Online text of Dubliners

If you chose not to bring your textbook home this evening, you can still do the homework! I found a link to the full-text of Dubliners on the Project Gutenberg site. Since it contains the entire collection of short stories, just scroll down until you find Counterparts. Happy Reading!
