Week Five (Sept. 22 - Sept. 25)

M - Friday schedule, on a Monday? What? I'm confused. Anyway your 1984 questions are due today as well as checking to see that you marked up your short story, "Hills Like White Elephants." In class we'll be analyzing what is the implied metaphor of the operation and how the setting, characterization, and minimalism lead to understanding.

HW - Read "Where are you going, where have you been?" and answer questions

W - Discuss "WAYG,WHYB" in class. Main focus will be on symbolism. Who is Arnold Friend? What is the theme of this piece? Why is it so creepy? Is Connie an archetype?

HW - No school on Friday ... enjoy and read the next few chapters in 1984
