American Lit Day 1

Post AP test, post allusion quest, we will spend the rest of our time brushing up on American literature and its significance components. Thus far, we have looked at Native American and Puritan goings-on. Below will be links to readings that we have completed in your particular class for those who were absent or those who want to review prior to our quiz next class. You may want to look at other hours to preview texts that we have yet to read.

1:

• Native American myth with Grandmother Spider Steals the Fire.
• Puritan sermonizing with Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God. We only read the beginning stages, so the overall ideas are most important and not the specific details.

3: 

• Texts from first hour.
• A different perspective of God with Verses upon the Burning of our House.

5: 

• Texts from first and third hours.
• A surprising note of Puritan affection with To My Dear and Loving Husband.
• The start of the Salem Witch Trials, an overview of the first 6 months. Witch Trails Chronology gives the background of what happened with the significant people and eventual characters of The Crucible.
