The Beet Queen

The Beet Queen

Read the first 6 paragraphs from this novel written in 1986 novel by Louise Erdrich. Read the passage carefully. Then write a well-developed essay in which you analyze how Erdrich depicts the impact of the environment on the two children. You may wish to consider such literary devices as tone, imagery, selection of detail, and point of view.


Also, the exam is this coming Wednesday. Now is the time to start looking over your MWDS's that you have done over this year, and last year if you have them. Choose 5 of your favorites, or 5 that you think will be useful. Starting today, read them over daily so that they are fresh in your mind for the exam. It will be well worth it!

The World is Too Much with Us

Here is a list of poetry forms. Choose one form and give us an example (different from the one provided). Then, write a poem of your own. You may choose any form, the one for which you found an example or any other on the list except acrostic. ( I assume none of you will choose an epic!) If possible, try to choose a form that no one else has done. A nice sampling will be nice!
