Cruel and Unusual
This being the last week of summer, I thought I’d go out with a bang.
But then I realized that I have homework due in less than a week. So, for lack of more exciting activities, I’m stuck reading the notes for All The King’s Men by Robert Penn Warren.
And you know what? I’m quitting after only seven chapters. The Sparknotes even make me want to gouge my eyeballs out with a used spork. When does summer ’05 start?

“Read All the King’s Men over the summer and be prepared for a test on this work during session 2. Also, as you finish reading the book, select two significant passages, duplicate, and then color mark. One of the passages should be from the first half of the book and one from the last half. On a separate page, clearly identify each color mark and make an inference or assertion about each. Based on your color marking and assertions, develop an outline for an oral commentary on each passage, dealing with what is most interesting and significant about the passage and how the writer produces that effect. The completed color marking and outlines will be collected or checked during session 2.â€
Session 2? That just bought me some time.
thanks
