With your permission, I would like to discuss a change in reading dates for OMM.
Reason:  There is a large number of class officer candidates, and the office asked if we could tape the speeches in our studio during 7th and 8th period tomorrow. (Most candidates are in your class)

I have the changes indicated on the due date link below.

Study Guide

If you finish this assignment, begin to think about the Journal:
 Part 4

Begin to think about your quotation analysis journal:  (This will be due when we complete OMM)


\Remember to complete the 7 exercises in Study Island by Friday.
Score 75% and complete at least 10 questions

Quotation analysis: 
Hurst wrote, "I did not know then that pride is a wonderful, terrible thing, a seed that bears two vines, life and death."  

 How do both authors (Hurst and Steinbeck) use this quote to springboard his concept of "pride" throughout the story?  (If you look closely, you will see that the authors refers to pride several times in each of their works (Hurst directly and Steinbeck indirectly).  
**To answer this question, you must locate the original quote listed above.  Next, find several references of "Pride" in both stories.  Why does the authors continuously refer to pride throughout their stories?  What does pride mean to the authors/ the characters?

Explain the quote using examples from the stories.  Both stories have many similarities.

(You may write in first or third person.  If you use first person, you will be writing from the narrator's point of view.....You can be the narrator of this journal)
