Those Winter Sunday
BY ROBERT HAYDENSundays too my father got up early
and put his clothes on in the blueblack cold,
then with cracked hands that ached
from labor in the weekday weather made
banked fires blaze. No one ever thanked him.
I’d wake and hear the cold splintering, breaking.
When the rooms were warm, he’d call,
and slowly I would rise and dress,
fearing the chronic angers of that house,
Speaking indifferently to him,
who had driven out the cold
and polished my good shoes as well.
What did I know, what did I know
of love’s austere and lonely offices?
In the last two lines of the poem, the poet tells us how he feels about his relationship with his father. How does the poet structure this poem so that the last two lines accomplish this?
The poet structures his poem so that the last two lines explain how he feels about his relationship with his father. He realizes that, when he was young, he didn’t understand how much his father loved him, and he regrets this.

Compare & Contrast Essay Prompt: Marjane, Malala, & Ta-Nehisi
Assignment: Marjane Satrapi grew up in Iran in the 70s and 80s, during the Islamic Revolution. Malala Yousafzai grew up in Pakistan in the early 2000s. Ta-Nehisi Coates grew up in Baltimore, coming of age in the late 80s / early 90s, during the crack epidemic.

This assignment is asking you to choose ONLY ONE of the following themes:
Prejudice
Poverty
Education
War

Essay of Travel Report
Travel Report
Purpose: This assignment is intended to demonstrate how relatively simple, inexpensive, and interesting world travel actually can be.
Directions: In 3-4 pages, come up with a proposal to travel to a particular country for a short, musical research trip. Using a variety of resources (books, travel guides, internet articles, travel sites like Tripadvisor, etc.) plan a three-four week trip to a country you have NOT been to previously. Your proposal should include the following content and information:
Country's orientation: geography, climate, population, etc.
A brief history of the country: politics, economy, religion, etc.
Cultural customs: language, greetings, taboos, dress, etc.
Travel: Transportation cost and means, time of travel, lodging, visas, currency, exchange rate, immunizations, etc.
Activities: Sights to see, festivals/holidays, etc.
Music Activities: Include some music genres and events likely to be seen.
Total Cost: Provide a breakdown list of costs for a three-four week stay in the country. (Feel free to stay longer, if you like.) Be reasonable in your pricing. I doubt you will win the lottery before you go.
Creativity: These points are based on your creativity and writing style. Some students have written from the perspective of a travel agent booking a tour, a tour guide native to the country visited, or even a backpacker on an adventure. If you make it fun to read, it will be fun to write.
Notes before you begin:
This project is designed to be FUN as well as educational. The focus is on the TRAVEL, not the history, etc., so don’t overdo the opening sections (one paragraph MAX on history; 1 page MAX on the country's orientation, history, customs, and travel). The idea is to stimulate you to pursue international travel as part of your life experience. You will gain a better appreciation of not only other people and their culture, but the culture you live in as well. Be CREATIVE as well as informative
