for Mon 10/5

Find the list of terms that is attached to the syllabus. The assignment for the terms is to define and give an example for each of the following, from the list: hyperbole, syntax, metaphor, simile, lyric, stanza. We'll be discussing and defining this list over the course of the semester.

Also, the writing exercise we did in class was from a handout. I will be in my office before class, or can distribute the handout in class if you missed it, and then you can at least write a poem, from the exercise, to include in the midterm portfolio.

This week we will be discussing Roberson's City Eclogue, and you should post 3 things on your blog that interest you about the book. Read all of it if you can, but specifically focus on some sections or pieces that are interesting to you.
