Today we reviewed the three key handouts that students will use to study for their final English 10 provincial exam (which will be written next Tuesday at 12:30pm). I was even a swell enough fellow to print off extra copies of these handouts for those students who had lost theirs (I know, I know, I shouldn't be THAT swell -- can't help it, though -- just the kind of guy I am.)
Homework: study for Romeo and Juliet test this Thursday (tips: When Capulet gets angry at Juliet for not wanting to marry Paris, he threatens her with disinheritence, putting her in a nunnery, beating her, AND giving her poison. -- nasty guy, eh? Another hint: know the four characters who die in the last scene.)
One final tip:"The sweetest honey is loathsome in its own deliciousness" is a statement by the Friar given as advice to the newlyweds. He uses this metaphor to say that if sweet things such as honey, or young love are taken to extreme they often are no longer desireable; in other words, his advice for R and J is that they "love moderately" or, as your parents might say, "slow it down."
Homework: study for Eng.10 final next Tuesday.
