Please read "Araby" by James Joyce and answer your focus notes as well as fill out a "Senses Chart" with the sense on the left and one cited example on the right. Be prepared to discuss how Joyce's use of sensory imagery enhances the meaning of the work as a whole (MOAWAAW).

Thank you for your warm welcome of Dr. Ochsner today; she left me one of her books titled People I Wanted To Be. From the title alone, I am excited to read it. You should take a look at her accomplishments; it's very impressive. Additionally, she invited us all to a very fun sounding Writer's Workshop (that's free) on the Corban campus the day after the AP Exam--what a way to celebrate huh?

Please read "Cub Wants to be Pilot" and do a Rhetoric Device T-Chart for the story. You do not need to write a paragraph this time.

"Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear"- Mark Twain (I love this quote--because fear will never go away, we must learn to master it!)
