ORANGE DAY

DUAL ENROLLMENT

Today we took a quiz on chapters 8-11 of MONTE CRISTO....then we went over the answers to this quiz (as well as the answers to any other questions you may have). ..the reading for next time is chapters 12 through 18...a study guide for 12-16 was given....we began the reading assignment together, doing most, if not all, of 12 as a class...


COLLEGE PREP 11

The assignment for today was to finish the book ETHAN FROME..we didnt take a quiz, but we went over the ending of the book...we discussed, also, the BenFranklin line "Some people die when they are 25 but are not buried until they are 85" and what the 'humorous' meaning is in this....we then discussed the difference between LIVING and SURVIVING....we then tied this back to the way the novel ended...The composition I would like you to write (due next Wed) for the ending of the book is this:

Consider the quote from Ben Franklin. What is the difference between LIVING and merely SURVIVING? In your opinion, which one is more favorable and why? You may, of course, reference any part of the book in your answer, but I am mostly looking for your own voice and intelligent opinion

Also, today, we took down a list of new vocab words...this quiz will be next Friday.
