Class Today May 24, 2023.... Cancelled.... 😭

Sadly, due to circumstances beyond my control, class today has been cancelled.

But... not all is lost!

Here are the notes and (my) answers to the questions on the story 'Gradation'. If you have any particular questions then we will address it in class next week.

Otherwise, next week we will talk about Before/After next week.

Also, remember the deadline for this assignment is rapidly approaching!

See y'all in class (next week!)

For Group one only: Yes! as announced... there will be class this week on Tuesday.

You will need:

The original text of Gradation and your translations and your answers to the questions about the text.

The new assignment is here! Here it is!

Translated the text and at the same time include notes on what you found in the story.

These notes can include:

- the structure of the story

- sub-parts of the story

- literary qualities of the story

- identifiable aspects of the language used (euphony, alliteration, register, foreshadowing, parallels etc).

- notes on the realia (physical and cultural) referred to in the story (including the connotations they evoke).

 - other things that you notice.

The notes should be from 1/2 a page to a full page (page = 1800 characters with spaces).

You may do this in English or Polish. 

You may do this by yourself or in twos or threes.

The deadline for your translation (and analyses) will be May 14, 2023.
