Guh. That is a powerful gut punch of a poem, for all that it's quiet.
River: You're not right, Early. You're not righteous. You've got issues. Early: No. Oh, yes, I could have that. You might have me figured out, then. Good job. I'm not 100%.

msbelle, I can sympathize despite our difference in, uh, sympathies. This game has me twisted up in eight different directions.

Anne, isn't it great? Poignant. And actually way more moving than Auden's "Musee de Beaux Arts" (though that one is good too, just bigger and noisier). Where Auden's poem is a bang, this is Eliot's whimper.
I didn't design this lesson, but I did walk my students through it as a respite between Invisible Man and Othello. Can't wait to see how they'll handle the Field poem now that they have some things under their belt.
There was a great NYT article about the movie Anonymous that I cannot wait to share with my students because the conclusion is wonderful. Also, we've been analyzing political speech in my regular class so they've read Cain's and Perry's announcements about running for president and discussing ethos/pathos/logos.
Sometimes, I love my job so much because I get to read these things and share them. Sometimes I just hate it too.

I'm so glad I have the day off tomorrow. No way I'm going to miss the end of this game.
