Dylan Thomas reading his poem (which is more of a personal narrative)
HOMEWORK: Over Winter Break, finish reading Huckleberry Finn. Yeah, sorry, that's a lot. Actually, in the past some of the honors classes have only read through the end of chapter 31 and then read the final two chapters of the novel. It's ok with me if you do that. I hate saying "don't read the entire novel since novels are something that should be appreciated in their entirety, but in all honesty, not all that much of import happens after chapter 31. I don't think that there is a single question on the reading test that deals with chapters 32--41 (although you should probably ready 39 and 40 to understand the ending).
