I think all these students have their books, but if not, they should get the appropriately numbered book. The copies of The Piano Lesson are on the long table.

BUT FIRST,
Look at "Woman's Constancy." Here is a paraphrase. After reading and comprehending the poem on a literal level, look closely at the highlighted part. Write EXACTLY ONE PAGE of clear, precise analysis of the sound, structure, and rhythm of these lines. But first, we have to determine a purpose for these enjambments, caesuras, and de-emphasized rhymes. Could it be something like, "The sound, rhythm, and structure of these lines reflect the emotional insecurity (aggressiveness, anger, instability?) of the speaker." Then show what is unstable, insecure, or aggressive about it. Determine whether you think the speaker really believes that women are so untrue or whether the speaker is actually driving her away and trying to blame her for it.

THEN,
Really check the world premier assignment posted Friday. Make Thanksgiving week special.

AND FINALLY,
Read Act 1, Scene 1 in The Piano Lesson for Wednesday. Pay special attention to stage directions.
