Monday/Tuesday
We will finish "The Libation Bearers." Take notes. For the holiday weekend, go out and buy Ender's Game. Read two chapters of Brave New World. Next week, bring your grammar books and workbooks to class. There will be assignments given from there.
In connection with Brave New World, we will watch Fritz Lang's silent film, "Metropolis." The film debuted in 1927 and makes a statement about the dehumanization of assembly line workers. Brave New World was first published in 1932 and it does the same thing. Both genres say something about the human condition and our concept of freedom.
Wednesday: Finish "Metropolis."
