"Oh Me! Oh Life"

Good Morning!

* Assignment on Dead Poets Society -- Please be prepared to share your written response You have written 1/2 to 3/4's of a page.


*"Oh Me! Oh Life!" -- Before we go on to Emerson ("Self-Reliance"), I would like us to read this Walt Whitman poem.  In Dead Poets Society Mr. Keating recites this poem to express the profound capacity of humans to feel and the profound questions that humans ponder about life. The poem also relates to the theme of individualism that we have been discussing.  (Handout) After you respond to the poem, write 3 questions on lines or phrases of which you are unsure.

HOMEWORK:  Complete the assignment on "Oh Me! Oh Life."  Please have your new selection of independent reading by Friday.
