I'm late getting up this weeks schedule. The time I had set aside for school work this weekend, I instead spent reading Tommy Orange's novel, There There. The book is an amazing collection of interconnected stories that explore lives of urban Indians in Oakland. Once I got hooked I couldn't stop reading and I highly recommend it. (As soon as I finished I did one bit of school work: I changed this summer's summer reading from Tortilla Curtain to There There.
All week: Continue working on Novel Project and studying tone words and literary terms.

For Tuesday: Read "How To Read a Poem" (p 648), followed by comment on the poem (p 649); "Because I Could Not Stop for Death" (p 653). Structurally, what do the poems have in common?
