FOR A1 & A2: Prepare your work area (and yourself!) to do the Q1-Style Poetry 40-min Essay below -- handwritten, please. I recommend eating a nice healthy breakfast first while glancing over your lit. terms packet. Remember to read the poem at the "word level" and to answer the whole prompt (use the "how" and "so what" to fuel your thesis statement).
Click here for the prompt when you are ready. Good luck!
FOR D-Block: Please re-read Chapter XI in Ayn Rand's Anthem (the one that begins with the line, "I am. I think. I will.") Write a 1-page response to this chapter in which you explain the main character's philosophy. What does he understand now that he didn't know in the beginning? What does he value, and why? What are his plans for the future, and how have his hopes and dreams changed for him? Using details from the text, explain his new ideas about the "meaning of things" (11.4) Note: if you get stuck on how to respond or what to write, you could get a little help from the author herself by looking up her own definition of her philosophy called "Objectivism" and considering whether Chapter XI fits her definition ... or, of course, you may do this entirely on your own because after all ... you are, you think, you will :)
