January 6th: Chokeberry Tree



Today we are going to look at Literary Theory and New Criticism. Go HERE

Also read to page 80 in BELOVED.

Below are the lyrics to MY OLD KENTUCKY HOME - Morrison is playing off these lyrics with SWEET HOME:


The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home,
'Tis summer, the darkies are gay;
The corn-top's ripe and the meadow's in the bloom,
While the birds make music all the day.

The young folks roll on the little cabin floor,
All merry, all happy and bright;
By 'n' by Hard Times comes a-knocking at the door,
Then my old Kentucky home, goodnight.

Chorus:

Weep no more my lady
Oh! weep no more today!
We will sing one song for the old Kentucky home,
For the Old Kentucky Home far away.
