Isn't it Romantic--wait or is it Transcendentalism...No, it's Dark Romanticiism

Okay, as we start to tie up the loose ends of the Romanticism period in English 11 you may want to review a few key things that will help ease your minds as you prepare for the final exam.

You will want to review some specific key terms; know what each of these terms are: archetype, allegory, rhythm, alliteration, onomatopoeia, lyceum movement, imagery, and figures of speech.



The short stories that are covered are The Devil and Tom Walker and Dr. Heidegger's Experiment.

 You will also be responsible for the excerpts from Emerson's Essays from "Nature" and "Self-Reliance"  and Edgar Allan Poe's famous poem "The Raven",  here is Vincent Price reading "The Raven" audio and a poor quality Youtube Simpson's version of "The Raven" Simpson's version.

Dr. Heidegger's Experiment

There are also limited Daily Oral Language sentence questions; I just want to make sure that you're awake when we're going over general grammar mistakes.

You will all do fine. Just take the time to review the literary terms and review each of the stories, excerpts as well as the poem. I know it seems like a lot, but really it's just remembering the story as well as paying attention in class, because you never know when I'll give an answer away.
