Class today: January 24th

1. Review your 10 Summary Statements that establishes the Historical Context of Arabic/Persian Literature.
2. Read 576-577- Introductory reading to our next Sacred Text. Again, we will be looking at the social, political, historical influences of Sacred Texts. This reading will establish a necessary foundation to understand the text.
3. Make sure that you have the definition of PARALLELISM in your notes (577).  Notice... parallelism can be utilized  in grammatical structures to emphasize ideas' similarities.... also contrasts. Structures MUST be PARALLEL.
4. Read 578-580. Take note on the 3 Suras. Be considering the historical context... and look for parallelism. I suggest you write down these findings.

Not Parallel:
The coach told the players that they should get a lot of sleep, that they should not eat too much, and to do some warm-up exercises before the game.
