Periods 2 & 4: Freshmen
Of Mice and Men test.
Began the movie...(except in period 2 we didn't get to the movie because of the fire drill.)
Period 8: AP Lit.
"A Hunger Artist" is really about... the artistic drive, spiritual self vs. physical self, thirst for attention, fame and celebrity, societal fads, loss of interest in religion, self-loathing and alienation, selfless vs. selfish martyrdom... Or, a weird guy in a cage? We also read a brief biography of Kafka--the frustrated/depressed artist-- and did a little psychoanalytic criticism of his story.
HW: Read "A Modest Proposal" and come ready to discuss the questions.
