LA 10:
- Complete Resistance to Civil Government discussion
- Begin Poe/Dark Romanticism
- Review “Romanticism” Powerpoint from website. Scroll down and review the slides on “Dark Romantics” and “Gothic Elements.” Make sure you understand what makes Poe a Romantic (similar to Emerson, Thoreau, etc.) and also what makes him a DARK Romantic (different than Emerson, Thoreau, etc.)
- Go through the Poe slideshow at the website, focusing in particular on Poe’s psychological interests. You must know slides 4, 6, 7, and 8 for the test!! And you must be able to apply the ideas on these slides to the Poe selections you are reading.
- Discuss Poe background reading, in particular elements of Poe’s life that may have contributed to the darkness of his worldview.
- Be working on Poe readings.
