The Classroom at the Mall- R.S. Gwynn

Language:
The language used in this piece allows for easy reading and understanding. there was no inflated language to the piece. It was very straight forward. In fact the meaning of only one word was unknown to me.
Esplanade: Open or level space- especially a public walk or drive.

Argument:
Meaning is left relatively clear to reader.
Background knowledge needed for full understanding/ footnotes helped significantly for the references that I had no previous knowledge of.

Structure:
Rhyme scheme:
ABCCAB DEFFDE GHIIGH JKLLJK MNOOMN PQRRPQ STUUST VWXXVW YZAaAaYZ BbCcDdDdBbCc EeFfGgGgEeFf

You:
I liked this piece. The idea of a classroom being open for observation in a mall is somewhat comical to me. I don't see it being to terribly realistic but It was a fun piece none the less.

  1. Your consistent use of LASY as an organizing principle for your reading journal really works and helps you make some astute observations throughout.

    Were there any thoughts on Steinbeck?
