This week in class, we’re reading "A September Night" by George Marion McClellan.
In George Marion McClellan's poem "A September Night," a speaker describes the natural elements of a dreamy September night in the Mississippi bayou.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Beauty & Happiness and Human vs. Nature as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
