NOW, TODAY´S CLASS:
1- READ THIS MONTH´S POEM
2- CHECK THESE QUESTIONS:
a)What does the word "chariot" mean?-
“Chariot” is a mode of transportation (carro).
b)What does it refer to in the poem?
The chariot that holds, not just a person, as a chariot holds, but the person’s entire soul is the action of reading.
"Frugal" means "inexpensive"
The poet writes only eight lines to express that reading is vital . Dickinson mainly compares reading to modes of transportation; when people engage in reading they can be taken to distant places . "Without opress of toll" means without having to pay for travelling. In conclusion, if you like reading, you will have the privilege to visit distant places easily

b- What is the meaning of this simile in the poem (in the 3rd stanza) ?
The simile is the third stanza is also personification because it indicates that the poem prances (brinca) like a horse.
Reading a page of poetry is just like riding a horse. It can prance across the page and carry people to wider places.
Essentially, these two comparisons (the one about the frigate and the one about the horse) show that books are able to carry people to distant places just like boats and horses do but more in a mental rather than a physical way.

I don´t think Rob is ill. In fact, it is not true that there is a boxing club in his school. He must have invented it because he didn´t want to disappoint his father.
He and his father did 12 miles of cycling every day (20 km.) in order to train. However he wasn´t picked for the rugby team, so he invented that he had been chosen for the boxing club.
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT- In your session with Catherine next week, you will speak about the video about Lisa Simpson I posted yesterday. So please, make sure that you understand the story so that you can discuss it with Catherine. Don´t forget to click "attend" on her invitation.
