Due 9/29: More Sexton and Plath

1. Reading–Sexton’s 45 Mercy Street (pp. 151-152) and Plath’s Lady Lazarus (pp. 157-159). Context will help with Lady Lazarus but I will leave that up to you. Research Plath a bit more if you would like. Otherwise, good luck! 🙂

Due 9/29 (9/30 for 10B): The Yellow Wallpaper and the Feminist Lens

1. Feminist Criticism–Choose three of the questions at the end of the handout (excluding the last 2) that you think are most relevant to a discussion of the text. With these questions, you are building a feminist lens through which we will analyze the text. After each question, explain (in 3-5 sentences) why you’ve chosen the question. As always, be thoughtful in selection and explanation. Complete this assignment in your notebook.
