Hi Everyone,

As promised, here are the assignments for Thursday.

1) Read John Keats’s “Upon Looking Into Chapman’s Homer” and identify all the metaphors and similes you can find.

2) Write a one-page (longer if you want) “attentional narrative” in which you narrate your own experience of paying/not paying attention to your surroundings. You could narrate the experience of walking down Park Avenue or going to the museum or even to Times Square or whatever you feel like. There are so many demands on your attention in the city, I’m sure you can find one experience to write about. Have fun with this assignment!

P.S. I forgot to collect your writing assignments that were due today so make sure to bring them next time.
