The Grapes of Wrath
“The earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.”--Chief Seattle

Wednesday I referred to an essay entitled "Huck Finn as the American Adam." The essay is found in Guerin's A Handbook of Critical Approaches to Literature under the section dealing with the archetypal approach to literary criticism. I would like to spend most of the day Monday discussing this approach, and to do so you all need to be familiar with two works analyzed in the chapter: the poem "To His Coy Mistress" and "Young Goodman Brown."

Monday we will read a poem that is dealt with in the book:
To His Coy Mistress by Andrew Marvell
You need to read it for homework, as well as Nathaniel  Hawthorne's short story
Young Goodman Brown. It will probably take you about 25 minutes. We will have a short and easy quiz over the poem and story, so be sure that you read them. (My easy quizzes are only easy if you actually read the story).
