tone and sonnets

We added the words "tone' and 'sonnets' to our list of words.  Two classes ago we added 'ambiguity.'

Today we discussed the nature of love by looking at Elizabeth Barret Browning's Sonnet 43 ("How do I love thee? Let me count the ways")

Then we looked at a humourous essay "Breaking the Ice" by Dave Barry about a similar theme.  Barry, unlike Browning, uses humour to make the serious point that young men need self-confidence in order to talk to young women.

Cailin, on Thursday this week, you and a few others, will be completing the Sightlines 10 test that you missed.  Okie dokie?  Was New York fun?  I bet it was.
