Today, we learned about metaphor and allusion, both about how to identify these elements in a piece, and to appreciate what they can do to enrich meaning. We used Jay-Z's song "Empire State of Mind" as a practice piece for identifying and explaining metaphor and allusion. Together, we worked through the first verse, making notes on all the allusions he uses.
We spent the last bit of class working through the rest of the run-on sentences practice package. If you were away, or you have lost your package, you can find a link to one at the side.
