Hi all,
A number of you will be leaving before class ends or will miss the whole day. So I've put links to the two PBS clips on YouTube we will see in class, as well as links to the full text of Leaves of Grass (Whew!), an excerpt from Emerson's essay, The Poet (and a link to the full text) and an excerpt from Crevecoeur's letter in which he defines an American. The triangular nexus of Emerson, Whitman and Crevecoeur is where we'll be by the end of the day today. So if you miss it, the resources are all here for you. We'll be back with more Whitman on Monday. But your homework is to craft the finished first draft of your essay for which the formal topic is also posted here.
Don't forget the option to blog about our Outside experience. Just one so far (Thanks, Callan!)
