Wednesday or Holy Hump Day Batman!

Heigh ho! Heigh ho! It's off to work we go! And then there's all these other words, heigh ho, heigh ho, heigh ho!!!

Fiddle: 
Practice. Enjoy.

Math:
Algebra 7.9, Solving Systems by the Linear Combination Method. Read, do examples and work evens in the exercise. If you score under 90%, do the odds. Record marks in comments section and remember you have time to complete this tomorrow if you don't finish today.
Geometry, Ch.1, L.2. Sets 1,2 and 3. 3 is always a challenger. If you need to, bring it to me.

Chemistry:
Do the Scientific Methods worksheet and complete the extra readings in your binder. Also do the Ch. 1 Assessment. What you don't finish is due on Monday morning.

Latin:
Okay, so you've decided you need to give Lingua Latina a rest for a bit and focus on the brute memorization of the grammar side of things. Well shucks, I found a website that addresses just how to do that.
http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~wcd/Latin.htm
Give it a quick read. I can print it or for reference if you'd like. Then go to this site, http://focusbookstore.com/courseware.aspx, click on, "demo now," under the Lingua Latina course info and sign up. Tomorrow you'll evaluate what it has to offer, specifically the pronunciation and Grammatica Latina  sections, to see if they're what you're looking for.

English:
Write your thesis in the comments section since you didn't do it yesterday. I know it seems silly but if you do it then I have a handy dandy record of your work right here. Start working on your outline.  It is due Friday.

Poetry:
Read  The Faerie Queene. You'll have time for this tomorrow as well so don't sweat it if it takes awhile.

History: (Sorry, on my phone so no fancy bold font) Listen to lecture 2, "The Neolithic Revolution," again while walking the dog and then answer the review questions in your binder. Point form and incomplete sentences are fine. Messiness and incomplete thoughts or ideas are not. Make sure your paper is clearly labeled and dated.

Other stuff:
Reading, reading, and finish anything undone as homework.

Here you go, mother. The thesis and stuff for Web. It's on the blog.

Thesis – that is was uncompleted on it's publishment.
Antithesis – that is was completed on it's published.


Cons:

The writing feels like of that of a completed novel.
The plot in general is sound.
“Tentpole” plot points (parts in the story the support or hold up the rest) all seem to be in place.

Pros:

The long history of Tanakuatua (the island) that obviously interrupts narrative and story flow.
-- There seems a later part of the book that would have been ideal for the story.
General lack of depth beyond what is most necessary for plot and very little detail.
Lack of development on most characters

The *EDITED* Thesis

Thesis – that the frigging book was uncompleted
Antithesis – the opposite of the thesis, goddammit.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THE OTHER ONE AND I HAVE BEEN VERY THOROUGHLY SHAMED.

Well, it doesn't look like it was run through Google Translate a few times but I'd hardly call that fixed. Do I, as your loving mother not deserve a properly worded thesis thingee? Oh, I'll take your outline too since you finished it early. Paper is due next Friday. Not too longish, use your discretion.

Just a thought on your pros, are the lack of detail and character something you wouldn't expect from Wyndham? Some writers, especially in sci-fi, just don't write well developed characters but that doesn't mean the novel wasn't completed when published.

And there's something unsatisfactory about your thesis. The novel was completed. It had an ending, write? What you noticed was that it was obviously that it was published after Wyndham`s death...Maybe what I'm missing is a polished thesis. You've given me the thought behind it but not a detailed, well written statement to defend.

Feel free to too me a new one off you think I'm off base in my comments. Politely though.

Wait.

I JUST noticed what the title was.
