Wednesday

For Friday/Monday, again look at the first four paragraphs of "Tradition and the Individual Talent." Focus on paragraph 4 and write two honest interpretive questions about the material.

Write a commentary (by hand if you wish -- this is a draft) on the stanza from "The Journey of the Magi." Remember that every technique and method has a purpose. If you notice an allusion, first point it out and then explain  (why Genesis and Revelation, why birth and death in the same poem?)  its effect on the overall communication of the poem.
