AP Lit: The Boarding House & Hamlet

Today in class we will return to Hamlet.  Act III.

Then it is all about "The Boarding House," our third reading from Joyce's Dubliners. We will do an activity in which we draw out the characters from the short story and then prove our choices using textual evidence.

We'll follow this with some work on applying the drawing activity to more traditional analysis.
