Parent Guide > Heart, We Will Forget Him!
Welcome to the parent guide for this text! Read below to find out about what your child is reading in class and how you can support him/her at home.
This week in class, we’re reading "Heart, We Will Forget Him!" by Emily Dickinson.
In "Heart, We Will Forget Him!," a speaker begs their heart for help getting over unrequited love.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Loneliness & Isolation and Love as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"What does it mean to feel alone?" and "How are we changed by love?"
