Poetry/Joyce HW

For tomorrow-
Students are to read chapter 7 of Sound and Sense and complete the tasks for poems 80, 85, & 86.

For Friday-
Students are to finish part 1 of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and respond to the following:

Pgs 39-61

Is Stephen horrified at the boys’ behaviour mostly on moral grounds or mostly because of the consequences they will suffer?

Why does Stephen suddenly begin thinking about Eileen? What do his recollections tell you about relations between Protestants and Catholics at this time in Ireland?

As the boys laugh about the pandybat, what are Stephen’s feelings?

Why has Stephen been exempted from his studies for the day? Why does Father Dolan call him a “schemer”? What does he do to Stephen?

What thoughts run through Stephen’s mind as he tries to decide whether or not to go and see the rector?

How does the rector compare to Father Dolan? How is this experience a turning point for Stephen?
