Monday

For Wednesday/Thursday, do two things:
1. Look at the little stanza about vegetation in "The Journey of the Magi" and mark every biblical allusion you recognize. Look up (in a Bible of your own or online, perhaps at Biblegateway.com) any word or image that you THINK might be an allusion. Write your findings in the margins of a copy of the poem.
2. Read the first three paragraphs of Eliot's "Tradition and the Individual Talent." Focus on the third paragraph and write out three clear, honest questions about it.

You can follow the above links for Google doc versions of each piece, or you can download "Eliotpack" from the right. It has all of these pieces in it.
