Read Alexander Pope, “An Essay on Man”. You can find the text in Volume D of our anthology. If you don’t have the book yet, you can easily locate it on the internet. Please come to class prepared to share a few words about the section of the workyou’ve been assigned below (Look for the Roman numerals in the poem to find your section.) Rather than trying to explicate the whole section, you may want to identify a particular line or pair of lines, figure out what you think it means, and then connect that passage to the rest of your section or to the text as a whole. This isn’t a formal presentation – just a chance to help your classmates find meaning in a work that may initially seem challenging.
