Literature: Week 5 Homework

Hi dears,

Here's the homework I was talking about in class today:

READING

Shorter Works Anthology:
- Robert Burns: Auld Lang Syne, Flow Gently, Sweet Afton
- Sir Walter Scott: Lochinvar
- William Blake:
o Songs of Innocence:
• Introduction
• The Chimney Sweeper
• Laughing Song
• Spring
• Holy Thursday
• Infant Joy
o Songs of Experience
• Introduction
• Holy Thursday
• The Tyger
• Infant Sorrow

QUESTION
"Is Blake the kind of person you would want for a friend, or as a hero or role model?" You many need to do some research to back up your answer, but don't spend too long on this. You can answer with pen or pencil in a sentence or two.

RECITATION
You are all going to memorize one stanza from Blake's poem, "The Tyger."
Ellie: Stanza 1
Hannah: Stanza 2
Rachel: Stanza 3
Kayla: Stanza 4
Nicki: Stanza 6

Don't forget: you must purchase the Shorter Works Anthology from Tapestry of Grace for this reading assignment. However if you find that you have another work which contains all the poems above, that's perfectly fine. Just be aware that I will continue to assign homework from Shorter Works. I believe in the end it will be worth purchasing.

Love, Ally
