“What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow / Out of this stony rubbish? …” – T.S. Eliot | The Waste Land
Greetings, today on the blog I a going to review what we learned last week and what we are going to learn next week on the blog.
Last week
We analyzed chapters XXXIV-XLIV of A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court by Mark Twain. With that task completed, we put the book to a close, outside of one last reflective post on Monday to close out the month and our book review.
Moreover, we also learned more about the idea of “chivalry” and how that applies to both an idea of respect and kindness, and how it applies to a caste of feudal lords in armor.
Continuing, we examined an older post about teaching Shakespeare in school, and we outlined T.H. White’s The Once and Future King. Lastly, we read about the Singing Sands of Bete Grise.
This week
