AP Students-
Don’t forget that you have a bit of work to take care of over the break. You need to finish (because you have been diligently working for a week) your poetry explication by Friday at 4:00 p.m. and complete your sonnet for class on Monday.
Otherwise, have a great break.
O ME! O life!… of the questions of these recurring; 
Of the endless trains of the faithless—of cities fill’d with the foolish;
Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?)
Of eyes that vainly crave the light—of the objects mean—of the struggle ever renew’d;
Of the poor results of all—of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me;
Of the empty and useless years of the rest—with the rest me intertwined;
The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life?
Answer
That you are here—that life exists, and identity;
That the powerful play goes on, and you will contribute a verse.
The reading assignment for Monday will be due Tuesday, so that we can do project presentations in class on Monday. If you are writing an essay, please remember that it is due Sunday at 1:00 p.m.
