IMPORTANT clarification

I was just talking to one of your classmates and learned that a number of you have interpreted question one as referring only to the novels. When we refer to "texts" in literary studies that refers to any written work, or even I guess to oral texts. So, you can cover any of the poems or stories in your answer to the first question, if you like.

Also, remember that "Jacob" is not a poem but a story. It borrows verse form to give us a sense of how it should sound, reminding us always that this is a transcription of an oral tale, much like the Harry Robinson piece as well.
