Ingrid Bergman

Harpo Marx

Find at least one example of Groucho using a pun and explain the pun.

Allusions, be they to pop culture or history, the Bible, etc., can be very effective or can cause confusion.  Given the distance between Groucho's time and our own, many of the allusions might not be familiar to us.  How well would you have understood the letter were it not for the footnotes?

With a partner, answer questions 2, 3, 5, and 6 on page 61.

Read JFK Inaugural address on pages 69-72.

Homework... answer questions 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 (look up subordinate clause on your phone if needed), 9, 10, 11, 12, 13.
