Today in class:

We defined:

Personification
Metaphor
Simile
Reverse thought
Reverse Sentence
Reversed Word
Classical Allusion
Aside
Suspension of Disbelief

We looked at how these are all used in the play Macbeth. These are all very important in helping you understand Shakespeare.

We watched 5 minutes of The Empire Strikes Back; specifically looking at how the character Yoda speaks using reverse thoughts and sentences. Much like Shakespeare, this gives the audience the feeling of mystical coolness. It is hard to do, and most view it as impressive. In HS, it tends just to frustrate you.


Also:

B Block: read their 10 learned lines.
A Block: were assigned this- due Wed.
D Block: make up today for those not ready or absent.
