Part of Today's Reading: Edgar Lee Masters

Carl Hamblin

by Edgar Lee Masters

The press of the Spoon River Clarion was wrecked,

And I was tarred and feathered,

For publishing this on the day the Anarchists were hanged in Chicago:

"I saw a beautiful woman with bandaged eyes

Standing on the steps of a marble temple.

Great multitudes passed in front of her,

Lifting their faces to her imploringly.

In her left hand she held a sword.

She was brandishing the sword,

Sometimes striking a child, again a laborer,

Again a slinking woman, again a lunatic.

In her right hand she held a scale;

Into the scale pieces of gold were tossed

By those who dodged the strokes of the sword.

A man in a black gown read from a manuscript:

'She is no respecter of persons.'

Then a youth wearing a red cap

Leaped to her side and snatched away the bandage.

And lo, the lashes had been eaten away

From the oozy eye-lids;

The eye-balls were seared with a milky mucus;

The madness of a dying soul

Was written on her face —

But the multitude saw why she wore the bandage."

Homework Help: The Trial of Martha Carrier

Here's my assignment for tomorrow's discussion:

Read The Trial of Martha Carrier and consider the following:

Tone is an important quality of literature.

Context (circumstances and language surrounding words) is one indicator of tone. You also need to think about the kind of character who is speaking or writing, the situation, and the particular words that are used.

Taking all the above into consideration, how would you describe the tone of "The Trial of Martha Carrier"?

Homework Help: Anne Bradstreet

I'm going to move my Homework Help from Facebook to this blog because of the limitation Facebook puts on the length of the reply.  I want people to be able to fully express themselves because I *do* use your responses to form my papers and discussions.  I've only had a handful of assignments so far and your help has been wonderful.  I don't want that help curtailed by a maximum character limit that stifles good thought.

Today's assignment:

Read the two poems by Anne Bradstreet on this page.  What is different about the second poem compared to the first poem and for extra credit, *why* do you think it's different?
