All classes were engaged today in lit circles in one form or another. The only exception was English Studies, which went over briefly how to determine tone in a poem:

1. Look for repetitions.
2. Determine the positive or negative nature of the repetitions.
3. Look for more examples of the positive or negative images or words.
4. Determine a descriptive category to fit all the words or image into.

Simple.
