English Literature: "Let's just try to have a marvelous time this weekend. I mean not try to analyze everything to death for once, if possible. Especially me. I love you."

"Let's just try to have a marvelous time this weekend. I mean not try to analyze everything to death for once, if possible. Especially me. I love you."

I loved this quote from Franny and Zooey! Has there ever been a time when you've felt you've ruined a good time with someone (friend or family member) by over thinking?

This and other quotes should stand out in the book.

Think back and relate to these characters.

Feel free to submit your own quotes here or post a quote and reflection for your Student site.

"It's everybody, I mean. Everything everybody does is so--I don't know--not wrong, or even mean, or even stupid, necessarily. But just so tiny and meaningless--and sad-making. And the worst part is, if you go bohemian or something crazy like that, you're conforming just as much as everybody else, only in a different way."

"You take a look around your college campus, and the world, and politics, and one season of summer stock, and you listen to the conversation of a bunch of nitwit college students, and you decide that everything's ego, ego, ego, and the only intelligent thing for a girl to do is to lie around and shave her head and say the Jesus prayer and beg God for little mystical experience that'll maker her nice and happy."

9th Grade Honors English

Here you will find the reason why you should not be mandated to show up to class (just kidding) and these links will help you get by for the semester.

Posts here will be strictly supplemental to class learning and discussion. Also, if you miss homework assignments, they will be posted here along with lesson notes and other miscellaneous announcements and good reads.

I will mandate that you frequent this site. It contains all the information you will need for the following class. It is not necessary to respond to everything I post. HOWEVER! I suggest that you look through posts and watch/read/review all content postings because it will further your learning in the class and school. A bonus will be you can get extra participation points for knowing.

Throughout the semester we have together, I would like for you to submit your own works to the student site (which can be located at the top of the page). Again, it is crucial that you keep up with assignments and posts so you are not lost in class. Your participation on here is not mandated but will be considered when getting down to final grading.

If for any reason you are not able to access the site at home, all postings will be sent to an email address that you have provided (or will set up) in order to ensure you are keeping up.

Enjoy!
