Synthesis #1 Applying Allusions
Over the summer we read about allusions in Foster's, and expanded our knowledge of Greek and Biblical allusions. We thought we were done on the third day of school when we took that test. But no, allusions came back to haunt us. With every text and test, we have to examine for allusions and what they mean. We spent almost the entire hour on Biblical allusions in Hamlet. When someone pointed out that Biff was 34, Jesus died at 33, Death of a Salesman took on a whole new light.

Yeah, while we did do a lot of Biblical allusions over the summer, i think we did a significant amount of mythological allusions too and those show up everywhere. Also, I'll just say it now, your Course Synthesis has some holes in it, you're not including some of the other major stuff we studied, i then you could have integrated it into the 4-6 posts easily.
