English 12 Nov 5th

Today we focused, once again, on ambiguity in poetry and looked at ee cummings poem "she being brand"
Then we listened to the song One Man Army by Our Lady Peace and we answered four questions

1. What do you think the speaker means by “plastic people”? (2 marks)

2. How does the speaker feel about these kinds of people?

3. Quote a part of the poem that proves your answer in #2.

4. The title of this song is “One Man Army.” Explain what this title means. In other words, why is it an appropriate title for this song. (2 marks)

Then we spent time reviewing the exam study sheet that I prepared for next Thursday's final exam.

Finally, we spent 65 minutes completing an in class essay on the topic "our views of the past change as we mature." This is an old provincial exam topic taken from the last section of the exam: the original composition.
