Weekend HW

Students are to read to page 39 in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and respond to the following:

What scenarios do you picture happening in Stephen’s early childhood when you read the first few pages? What can you tell about his family?

How is the image of the eagle carried into the description of the boys playing football?

How can you tell Stephen is interested in words?

Is Stephen happy at school? How do you know?

What does the badge fluttering on Stephen’s breast tell you?

What feelings does Stephen dislike? What gives him comfort at school?

How does Stephen seem to feel about his church?

What is represented by the description of the homeward-bound train?

Why does Simon Dedalus approve of the comment made by his friend to the priest? How does Dante Riorden feel about the remark?

ANY STUDENT WHO DID NOT RECEIVE THE BOOK IS TO READ USING ONE OF THE LINKS TO E-TEXT VERSIONS I HAVE PROVIDED. (LOCATED BELOW THE JOYCE PICTURE)

Students must also read ch 6 in Sound and Sense and answer the questions for poems 66, 71, 72, & 73.
