Homework
- 500-word analysis on a song of your choice. Pick one theme or message from your song then point to the lyrics that let's the reader know why you believe this is the theme or the message. Keep in mind that people can interpret the exact same line differently. You're explaining your own line of thinking.
- 750-word analysis on Sonny's Blues. You're still thinking about themes and messages in this piece. Some things for you to consider. What does darkness symbolize in the piece? What is the difference between the narrator and Sonny and how does it affect their relationship? What role does drugs play in Sonny's life? What role does music play on the piece? The story is about two black men in 1950s America. How does that affect the way you interpret the story?
- Read the following three short stories (find them in the sidebar under Class Documents). Write me a one sentence theme for each one. Then choose one of the three themes to write a 750-word paper on.
- The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins-Gilman
- A Rose for Emily by William Faulkner
- Virgins by Danielle Evans
You should turn in 3 papers next Friday.
