Tuesday

Today you have some time to finish your short story outlines and your reading journals on "The Split-Cherry Tree", then we are going to read "Blues Ain't No Mockin' Bird" - and look for imagery, allusions, metaphors, similes, symbols, dialect, and irony.  You need to take notes on the description of Granddaddy Cain


Definition of Blues:
noun

1.
melancholic music of black American folk origin, typically in a twelve-bar sequence. It developed in the rural southern US toward the end of the 19th century, finding a wider audience in the 1940s as blacks migrated to the cities. This urban blues gave rise to rhythm and blues and rock and roll.
