NOTE:  Journal entries are to be written IN CLASS, not for homework.

Study for your Poetry Terms Quiz, which will be given next class.  All terms reviewed thus far will be included in this quiz, which, by the way, will not carry as much weight at the actual test.  NOTE:  The actual TEST on these terms will be spread out over a couple of days in the coming weeks. 
2.  Finish hand-writing your journal entry on the assigned passage from Heart of Darkness.  Below is the BOLDED journal prompt I had written on the white board.  This will be your prompt for every passage on which you journal.  (NOTE:  100-150 words in length)
 
Reflect on what you think the meaning of this passage is--and what impression it leaves the reader--all through YOUR chosen lens.  (Use reference to the text (i.e., the passage) to support your point.)
