1. Find 4 real-life fractions at home and put them in order from least to greatest. Hint: look in the kitchen!
2. Find 5 phrases or sets of words that resonate from the poem, Aristotle. Using MLA formatting, write them down. Then think about the words and how they make you feel. Then write down those thoughts.
This process is a beginning step to literary analysis, which is a fancy term for telling what you think the author is saying in any given work. Here's an example to follow, but keep in mind this is my teacher version, and all I am expecting you to do is the best you can. As I said before, just think about how the words "feel" to you and write those ideas down.
EXAMPLE:
"Disappointment unshoulders his knapsack here and pitches his ragged tent." line 33
Analysis: I think the poet is saying that disappointment, which is a sad feeling, is planning to stay a long time. The poet's use of the word "ragged" feels like being poor, and the fact that he (disappointment) has set up camp ("pitches his ragged tent") makes it feel like sadness, and perhaps poverty, are going to stay a very long time.
