my english teacher is just great
Hi Shelby,
We missed you today. I just reviewed some highlights from the introduction to the Samuel Johnson collection, namely Johnson’s purpose in using the periodical essay and how his language reflects that purpose and lends itself to the “moral” essay. I read Rambler #181 aloud to the class to demonstrate these claims from the introduction. It was pretty well received by your classmates. I collected the modest proposals and the questions from the introduction.
For homework, I assigned a re-reading of Ramber 4 and 14 and to cite examples that reflect what I highlighted in the intro.
Feel better. I hate to know you aren’t feeling well. Nothing’s worse than being sick.
Mr. Raycroft
What a nice guy.
