Spring Break- Extra Credit!

Okay, guys. I couldn't make up my mind. Some of you have really interesting, creative ideas. Some of you were happy with a plain-Jane essay assignment. Here's what I'm proposing: make your own assignment.  The task should be connected directly to Beloved to an obvious degree. Other than that, you can decide how creative, artsy fartsy (or NOT), and involved you want this assignment to be. Here are the requirements:

- Turn in something that indicates you have thought deeply about some aspect of the novel.
- The something should be of a high school quality... so no. A stick figure drawing of all the characters-- not going to get you anything.
- You must write a Justification; in this you will explain what you did, why you did it, what kind of credit you should receive, and why.

This assignment is due April 14th; late assignments will NOT be accepted. At all. Don't even try. =)

1. Elegy- a poem or literary work that laments the dead or a loss.
2. Parallelism- the repeated use of the same grammatical structure in a sentence or a series of sentences. Example: "For one lost, all lost" (p. 130, Beloved).
3. Anaphora- the repetition of a word or words at the beginning of successive phrases, clauses, or lines to create a rhetorical and/or sound effect. Example "It went on that way and might have stayed that way but one evening..." (p. 135-137, Beloved).

Revelations 6:1-8

 1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.

 2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

 3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.

 4 And there went out another horse that was red: andpower was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

 5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

 7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.

 8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
