What in me is dark
Illumin, what is low raise and support;
That to the highth of this great Argument
I may assert Eternal Providence,
And justifie the wayes of God to men.

High School Readings for Monday

Greetings, high schoolers!

Here are the four articles I want you to print out, read, and  bring to class on Tuesday. Print all four out before you read  them and mark them up as you did the "Plants Respond to Music" article a  few weeks ago. (Underline or highlight what you find interesting, put  check marks next to information you agree with, etc.) Class on  Tuesday depends upon you bringing these articles, so don't forget them!

Since  we all seem to be relatively interested in Tolkien, I thought you might  like some articles about Tolkien's writing. I'm not overly impressed  with Crystal McNeal's writing style, but she does share some good  information. Without further ado, here are the articles:

1.  National Geographic article on Tolkien's languages

2.  Crystal McNeal, "Tolkien's Use of Language to Highlight Good  Characters"

3.  Crystal McNeal, "Tolkien's Use of Language to Emphasize Evil"

4. "Tolkien  and Language"

Enjoy!
