1. Finish watching An Iliad.
2. Review compounds in sentence diagramming.

Literary thesis examples:
Look for the three components of the literary thesis. The device. How it is applied. The effect of the device usage on the meaning of the text.
- Though initially Scout and Mayella Ewell are presented as drastically opposite characters in To Kill a Mockingbird, it can be argued that these young girls are vastly similar in their characterization in order to emphasize the direct role of parenting in a child's life. (Characterization)
- The use of foreshadowing in Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men creates the effect of reader complacency in the inevitable death of Lennie. (Foreshadowing)
- The unending journey home by Odysseus is symbolic of the punishment he must endure for his involvement in the devastating warfare of the Trojan War. (Symbolism)
- The repeated epic boasts of Gilgamesh emphasizes the contrast between the king Gilgamesh should be with the king he has been to his people. (Diction. Characterization)
