Thursday Feb. 10

Due to some technological issues, the followers link is not available right now.  Don't be sad, we will figure something out. 

3U1
-complete 3 questions on 'The Lottery Ticket'

-some hints for you:
-Chekov is satirizing a belief of what will make us happy
-irony - there is some situational and verbal in there
-exaggeration - at the end of the story, his views on her family... 
-remember there is nothing wrong with giving the story another read; I'm just saying...

-if you are interested, here is a link to Anton Chekov's wikipedia page - yes, I know it is just wikipedia, but it does give a nice biography
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anton_Chekhov



Tomorrow
-more analysis of 'The Lottery Ticket'
-techniques of satire
-poetic devices

3C1
-finished up 'The Interlopers'
-it is a morality tale because it tries to teach us a lesson about how we should/should not live
-discussed theme (the lesson of the story) 

Tomorrow
-'DB Cooper' page 120
