Over the years Othello has left critics and viewers of the play wondering and debating: Does Shakespeare provide Iago with enough human motivation for the malevolent acts he commits? Is it plausible that the intelligent, noble Othello could fall so quickly into Iago's trap, turning from the blissful newlywed to murderer in three days?
Is the play deeply flawed, or its disturbing and challenging because of its 'problems'? do the play's problems provoke you to think deeply about human nature, or would they be better 'fixed' by a rewrite?

We have studied poems and will continue to study then. The question then becomes how can we judge them? On what criteria? Does it just depend on personal opinion or is there some more tangible way to reach a consensus.

It just so happens that there is a way we can say with confidence that one poem is better than another.

Tonight read pages 903-906 and then 915-916.

Make sure you understand what is being explained here.

I wanted you to do a writing exercise for homework but let's save it for an in class writing assignment. (pause for applause).

Instead, I want you to take what you saw and heard and present something that reflects your mind state or perception of the trip. It can be on a writer him/herself, on a poem/story you heard, the idea of a Writer's Festival, the moderator, or whatever resonated with you.
You could do a poem, a narrative, a song, a word collage or anything else in written form. Be creative.
Bottom line: You need to hand in something that shows me you were present and engaged on today's field trip.
Post a question on the blog if you are still unclear.

About the test on Thursday: you will be tested on the first 8 poems of the poetry unit of Peace and Conflict. These are on the handout I gave you at the start of the semester. There will be several questions on each poem and you will have to choose which ones you want to write on.

As with all my tests, you will need to use specific references when answering the questions. Vague generalizations will not get full marks. I highly suggest you review tonight and tomorrow night.

Tonight you need to write a one-page report on which poem you find superior: Vergissmeinnicht or Guns (p 959, p 960). Remember to consider the criteria as outlined in Evaluating Poetry (p 903). Include the three basic questions- What is the central purpose, How fully has this purpose been accomplished, How important is this purpose, and address whether either of these poems is overly sentimental, rhetorical, or didactic.
