Today I checked your homework from grammar, took up the questions, and laid out the seminar schedule for sign-up. The seminars will be in April, May, and June, but I'll give you specific dates as we get closer.
In class, we connected Frye to Joni Mitchell's "Woodstock", then moved on to Marlowe's "Passionate Shepherd to his Nymph", Raleigh's response, and finally Swift's satiric completion "Beautiful Young Nymph Going to Bed". Hopefully an interesting perspective on Swift, an intro to Satire, and practice applying Frye to literature.
For homework, I want you to have the answer to the question "What is Satire?". We will go over the exemplars for the ISU and continue with Gulliver's Travels.
