Welcome to the Monday Post!  

Your Monday post regards the reading for the upcoming Monday's class.  It should be about a paragraph or two long.  After your thorough reading, respond with:
  • literary insights into your good, close reading using appropriate literary terms
  • contextual (from that time period) historical or cultural insights into the reading--connecting ideas from intros and head notes with your reading
  • comparisons/contrasts between these Monday texts and a recent text we have read together
  • comparisons/contrasts between these Monday texts and a more modern cultural work
Don't quote long passages, but short, pithy, and useful words, terms, or phrases from the text.  Cite everything you quote (line #, page #, act/scene/line#s) using MLA citation format.  Identify titles of short poems using quotation marks and titles of longer works (long poems, plays, long prose works, films) using italics.
