Vocab 6: equivocate, fortuitous, impeccable, liaison, predisposed, propensity, reprehensible, sham, solace, solicitous

10: F451 Final Test is posted on G-Class.  It needs to be done by the end of the hour on Tuesday

10H: GC Memoir test is Mon/Tues

Extra Credit- new option

Come up with and design a hilariously awful metaphor, simile or analogy mini-poster.
-It must be original.  I'll be google searching them, so don't be lazy.  It would probably take longer to find one I can't find than to just come up with one on your own.  And frankly, what's the fun in that anyway?
-It must have visual elements, similar to the CE extra credit posters or the words of wisdom in the hall.  Just having multiple colors isn't enough though, the images need to represent the metaphor/simile/analogy.
- You are responsible for making sure that your entry does not already exist.  Even if you come up with it on your own, you still need to check for it online.  If it's already there, start over.
- You must change the shape of your paper.  No 8.5x11 rectangles.  Arts and crafts are serious business.

Examples of terrible metaphors, similes and analogies include these gems currently posted in class:
- He was as tall as a 6' 3" tree.
- Her eyes were like two brown circles with black dots in the middle of them.
- The sailboat slowly glided across the water like a bowling ball would not.
- The red brick wall was the color of a Crayola Brick Red crayon.
- The two had never met, just like two hummingbirds who had also never met.
- The date was going fine, but she knew in the back of her mind that if her life was a movie, this guy would be buried in the credits as something like "Second tall man."
