Students looked up the word "inference" in the index of B. the G. -- discussion of meaning...
Haiku on board -- what does it imply? what can you infer? do you understand the references?
"The Black Hills are good
The White Whale truly evil
Most things are gray-scale" copyright CRK
Black Hills -- beautiful national park in South Dakota, near Mt. Rushmore
White Whale -- the villain in Melville's novel, Moby Dick
gray-scale -- "Grayscale is a range of shades of gray without apparent color. The darkest possible shade is black, which is the total absence of transmitted or reflected light. The lightest possible shade is white, the total transmission or reflection of light at all visible wavelength s. Intermediate shades of gray are represented by equal brightness levels of the three primary colors (red, green and blue) for transmitted light, or equal amounts of the three primary pigments (cyan, magenta and yellow) for reflected light." http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/grayscale
Homework:
1. find and write down 3 definitions of "inference"
2. write two paragraphs about the meanings and what you can infer (about the writer) of the haiku, above
3. Final Exam will take place at 8 a.m. on Wednesday, December 14th, in our usual room, LWH 2005 --- please note that this is half and hour EARLIER than our usual class time
