Sophomores:

Today we had our final seminar on Hamlet and began Tuesdays With Morrie. See the earlier post for the reading schedule for the book.

Also, you have an essay due on Tuesday, June 5. The assignment is: Write an essay that describes your personal hero. This may be a factual or fictional person, living or dead (the only restriction is that you may not use a hero we have studied in class). However, you must explain why this person is your personal hero, and in so doing, touch on the following concepts from our class as it applies to this person: archetypes, the monomyth, and the stages of the hero. You must also integrate at least three quotes that come from either The Hero Catch-Phrase Project or the books we have read. Note - make these quotes a part of a larger sentence that explains something about your hero.

Your essay should be typed, double-spaced, with an interesting title. It is due in class on Tuesday, June 5. You may hand it in earlier if you wish.
