WELCOME TO HONORS ENGLISH

Here you will find valuable information and resource links that you will use at some point during your Junior year in Honors English. Below you will find a detailed agenda outlining each Quarter's day-to-day readings, assignments, due dates, tests, and quizzes.  Either bookmark this calendar or print it off (or both) so you will be apprised of your responsibilities in this course.

Writers You'll Read

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."

 
 
James Joyce“I’ve put in so many enigmas and puzzles that it will keep the professors busy for centuries arguing over what I meant, and that’s the only way of insuring one’s immortality.”

 
 
T. S. Eliot"Do I dare disturb the Universe?"
 
 
 
Herman Melville"It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation."
 
 
 
William Shakespeare"There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so."
