Take the conversation that we had in class today as a kick in the butt. Rise to the new expectations that have been placed on you and meet them!
Tonight for homework you need to read the packet that I gave you. Read the following from the packet:
- The biographical data on Wheatley
- The letter from her master
- "To the University of Cambridge in New England"
- "On Being Brought from Africa to America"
- "To S.M., a Young African Painter, on Seeing His Works"
- "To His Excellency..." and the attached poem which starts "Celestial choir."
Read the poems, mark notes. Underline lines. Be a good reader and really pick these apart!
