Period 1: Freshmen
Of Mice and Men Test! Woo-hoo!
Began watching OMAM film, too.
Period 5: 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... 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.
Period 7: Shakespeare
Watched oddly animated rendition of Macbeth. Looked at review of "Max Payne" for inspiration. Began writing essay/review of animated Macbeth-- does it, can it, work as a cartoon? Did you like it? Dislike it? Why? Why not, etc?
HW: Complete rough draft of essay to work with in class on Thursday.
