Gentlemen,
Good work today, quiz-takers. Floater 6 today, so you guys missed out. Everyone else rocked Quiz #34 on the different kinds of thesis statements. We moved ahead with some combo-style theses and will continue on that next week as we work on the "Ulysses" papers, which will be due the week after next.
HOOPER PROJECT: Congrats to Logan McLean, the first to slughter his Hooper by identifying "yes" as the only word in the English language that can be made plural by putting an "a" in front: "ayes." Well done to Logan and the others who racked up some points on that one.
This weekend, in preparation for Shakespeare Day, which is later this month, some Bardish Hoopers. Five points to the first, and one to each thereafter, who can tell me (a) Who wanted to "smite flat the thick rotundity of the world"?, (b) what did Marc Antony want to "let slip" after Caesar's ghost cried "Havoc!", (c) what does Hamlet think he could drink at "the very witching time of night"?, and (d) which character in A Midsummer Night's Dream gets partially turned into a donkey? Smite flat the thick rotundity of your inner Hoopers, and turn them into donkeys!
