Finally the Course Description

Today we briefly discussed our definitions of "literature" and literary merit" and then spent much of the period on the course description. We wrapped up the day by writing our first CRA paragraph of Neruda's "The Three Lilies."

The Write-Up
Choose ONE element of Jan Neruda’s short story.
Write a single-paragraph analysis of the passage that reflects on this element and how it contributes to theme and/or tone. 
Your paragraph should begin with a clear statement of purpose (topic sentence):

• Through… Neruda creates… 
• By… Neruda explores…

Be sure to support your assertion with copious examples/quotations from the story.
HW Read "Reading and Responding to Literature" at the online course. Take notes and prepare for a short quiz.
