The computer's alive with the sound of music...

Post on the Composer’s music that you connected with the most. Discuss specific pieces by that composer- For example:

What did you hear? What did they make you think of? How did they make you feel? What was particularly “Romantic” about the compositions? Did any remind you of things we read or artistic pieces we looked at?

Wuthering Heights ch. 23-end

For this post I would like you to propose a title and brief outline of a 3 minute "mini-lecture" you would feel comfortable conducting on Wuthering Heights in class on Monday.

You may actually be requested to conduct this 3 minute lecture....so think hard about this and be prepared!

Example of a mini-lecture I might just present:

"Feminine Men and Masculine Women: mixed up roles in Wuthering Heights"
1. Some feminine men- The Lintons
2. Masculine women- The Catherines
3. What happens when they collide and Implications of gender-bending

Wuthering Heights ch 1-10

Choose a character from the first ten chapters that you find particularly interesting for some reason.

Select a quote or two spoken by or about your character, and use those quotes as the basis of your analysis and reflection.

Please respond to / build off of others' responses.

Also, feel free, of course, to bring up any additional questions or insights you have!

Thesis & Topic Sentence Points (by Sun 9pm)

Please post your thesis and topic sentence points.

You should have at least three topic sentences, but you may need more to fully cover your thesis. Remember that topic sentences need to be argumentative points- not simply facts from the texts. Also, please list the topic sentences inthe order you plan for them to appear in the essay.

Be sure your thesis is a sophisticated argument that builds...not a simple list.

I'll be giving you each feedback.
