AP English Literature Period 1

1. Begin drafting any of your essays. Since you have a rough draft or even a solid second draft of your The Fall of Rome struggle for Power essay, I would begin the Ways We Lie Character Essay.
2. Using Biblical Allusions to enrich our reading.  The Kite Runner features allusions to a famous Biblical story: David and Goliath.  Read that story here: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Samuel+17&version=KJV  (versus 1-56) then respond:  Contrast David with Goliath.  What did David do for a "living" versus Goliath.  How does David justify his claim that he is fit or skilled or brave enough to fight against Goliath? Why didn't David wear the "armor" provided for him? What did he use instead?
3. Be sure to finish your Kite Runner journals and reading up to Chapter 6. We will discuss on Monday.
