Tuesday, 2/5 - Meeting in the Capitol . . . to kill so capital a calf there

• P&P

• Exam - Julius Caesar

HW: 

1. You had better have your own copy of Leithart's Brightest Heaven of Invention by the time Monday rolls around. I'll be checking it for a HW assignment.
2. Begin preparing for a THICE (Take Home In Class Essay) to be written the first half of block day (Friday). Please bring your outline, including important quotes. Your thesis must be comprised of both a claim and preview of your main points. Here are your prompts:

1. Craft a thesis which takes a stab at what Shakespeare is saying about the place of women in a "man's world." How does he show this?  
2. Scrounge around for a thesis that slashes to the heart of what Shakespeare is saying with his imagery, focusing on different image clusters. Consider whether there's a common thematic tapestry woven with these different colored threads of imagery. Or, if you'd rather, focus on one cluster and address what the Bard is saying.
3. Peer into the mysteries of what might constitute a thesis that punctures the twin lungs of military warfare and rhetoric. What is the truth of what the Bard is singing to us concerning the relationship of swords and words.
