Myth: Human Monsters

Read "The Sandman" by E.T.A. Hofman—three annotations per page (notes, thoughts, connections, questions, words you don't know).

  • 2-sentence summary for each section
    • Nathanael to Lothar
    • Klara to Nathanael
    • Nathanael to Lothar
    • pg. 224 Author's Notes
    • pg. 233 Nathanael's Return to University and The Ball
    • pg. 239 Life After The Ball: Courting Olympia
    • pg. 243 Life After Olympia: The Breakdown, The Recovery?
  • Analytical Paragraph: What is the source of evil? What is evil?


Read "The Black Cat" by Edgar Allen Poe, write a 2-sentence summary, and write an analytical paragraph (you could focus on the nature of evil and connect it to "The Sandman.")

Read "The Picture in the House" by H.P. Lovecraft, write a 2-sentence summary, and write an analytical paragraph (you could, again, focus on the nature of evil and connect it to "The Sandman" and "The Black Cat")

That's two summaries and two analytical paragraphs for this part of the week.
