Thursday, March 4th

Today, first finish these four questions from yesterday:

Alexander Pope Questions:
What is the author's stated or implied purpose for writing this work?
What are the key features of the world in which the character(s) find themselves?
What is the author saying about human nature through his portrayal?
How did the time in which the author lived inform his vision?

Then, choose one word (love, soul, reason, innocence) and....

1) Define it (in your own words). It may have multiple definitions.
The format for a definition: Word to be defined + is + general class + the quality which makes it unique
Example: rhythm is a movement or procedure with uniform or patterned recurrence of a beat, accent, or the like.

2) Then find examples of its usage in the works we've read this quarter. See Johnson's dictionary on pgs. 1394-1398 for an example.
