Yesterday in class we read three text from three different time periods. The first one we viewed was "Self-Reliance" by Emerson. We noted that this was a Transcendental work and discussed the 5 elements of Transcendentalism. Remember, as we prepare for our essay, gather evidence!!!
The second thing we discussed was "Hills Like White Elephants" by Hemingway. This is a contemporary work. You will want to explore our literary timeline to understand more about the works of this!
Finally, we went over the Hillcrest Essay. This was an essay by a local young man who faced his own loss of innocence when he faced a court sentencing. Please make sure you get notes or make an appointment with Mrs. Fisher if you do not understand the concepts and how they are linked through time with Mrs. Fisher.
