Class today: 

1. Colon/Semicolon Review: 

A colon is a big flashing arrow. When a colon appears in a sentence, it usually gives the silent impression of “as follows,” “which is/are,” or “thus.”

A semicolon joins two independent clauses to signal a close connection between them.

2. Watch: "For the Love of Literature"- TedTalk Love of Literature- TedX Youth

3. Schoology response: Discussion board. (Due by the end of 12/11) 

As we get wrapped up in the analysis of a text, we often forget or lose the beauty of the art of literature. 

For example, a few of my favorite lines are: 

“But I don’t want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin.” -John

"In the excitement of meeting a man who had read Shakespeare he had momentarily forgotten everything else." - John

So, with the time I am providing you to read today, I would like you to find 2-3 lines from BNW that you would either say are your favorite... or that you find the most intriguing.. or that you find are highly literary... 

With each quote.. provide an explanation about why this particular quote stood out to you.. and what makes it ART in your opinion
