Three cheers for Grammar!! (I'm sure that's what you're saying after class today.)


Well, you are all on your way to becoming subject/predicate pros! Pretty soon, you'll be diagramming sentences like the one above, just for FUN! ;P 

For Thursday, please read the excerpt from James Joyce's Ulysses, which I have posted on the side panel. As you are reading it, remember that the main character Stephen is modeled after Ulysses. 

For your journal entry, jot down some thoughts on how you think this version of the Odyssey differes from Homer's, especially regarding the following aspects:
  • Point of View
  • Tone
  • Setting
In addition to the reading assignment and journal entry, don't forget to do the even problems on your grammar Exercise C, pg. 44. Good luck!

joanna, i think stephan is supposed to be modeled after telemecus.... he's sad over his mother's death, just like telemecus is sad over his father's absence.
