Students used the first 30 minutes of class to work on their final blog entry which is due by 11pm Sunday, May 15. If you haven't blogged about one of your AP books yet, you need to do so on this entry. See the "Book Blogging" procedures posted on Classroom for details.

I shared the four most widely held interpretations of Bowen's "The Demon Lover." We continued working with the ballad and looked at other versions for similarities and differences, concentrating on time, place, and culture. 

One of the titles of the original ballad was "A Warning to Married Women." Students reread "The Daemon Lover" ballad to come up with a response to this question: What is the warning to married women? Be sure to support your interpretation with evidence from across the text. We discussed different interpretations and added them to our "Interpretations" Google Doc (available on Classroom).
