The album that got Jason Newsted kicked out of Metallica. Couple of young dudes met him at a Super Bowl party, they got together to record, James from Metallica didn't like it, Newsted left.
Really cool album, & absolutely nothing like Metallica.
Juniors:
Formalism.
(Long story short: concerns about the text, & mayhaps focus on "style")
After "The Death of the Author," we look at that which is left behind.
Mr. King says, "narration," "description," & "dialogue."
& he just may be right . . .
Other cool things: time as illusion & a 4th dimension,
setting in The Hunger Games as well as Lord of the Flies,
character & the revelation thereof,
& a whole lot of other art-&-literature-based inquiry.
Tomorrow: we start the "psychological" approach.
Sophomores:
Grammar for the Do Now, then
Vocabulary return (including the return to the 5 o you who actually did the assignment, which we began in class . . . come, on now, let's do this ).
Back to grammar, specifically parts of the sentence.
Hint: there are but 2.
be cool
You know, I thought it was good that we went over all those bad habits. Everyone uses them a lot, and noone probably would have changed without that lesson. I mean, think of all the shenanigans we maybe would get into if you hadn't given us that wonderful magic lecture. I might write some awesome sentences now that everyone knows exactly what to do. Even the girl who slept the whole period.
