WELCOME TO AMERICAN LITERATURE

Here you will find a number of valuable resource links that you will use at some point over the course of your Junior year. 
 
Below you will find an online version of each Quarter's day-by-day agenda, a detailed calendar of readings, assignments, due dates, tests, and occasional quizzes.  Be sure to consult this calendar on a daily basis, even print a copy for yourself so you know what is expected of you on any given day.
 
I sincerely wish you an enjoyable and enriching Junior year in American Literature.

Faces of American Literature

 
Emily Dickinson"This World is not Conclusion.
A Species stands beyond."

  
 
Robert Frost"If tired of trees, I seek again Mankind."
 
 
 
T. S. Eliot"Do I dare disturb the Universe?"
 
 
 
W. C. Williams"Rigor of beauty is the quest."

 
 
Jack Kerouac"It's all in California, it's all a sea, I swim out of it in afternoons of sun hot meditation in my jeans with head on handkerchief or brakeman's lantern or (if not working) on book, I look up at blue sky of perfect lost purity and feel the warp of wood of old America beneath me."
 
 
 
Walt Whitman "I celebrate myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you."
