Hello. I would like you to read the handout on existentialism and read the story "The Guest." I will have to post a link later tonight, as I am unable to do so from the school. In your reading of the story, please consider the point of view of Daru. Consider the story from an Existential perspective. In what ways can the story be analyzed using the Existential framework? We will have a chance to discuss this more in class on Wednesday.
Looking ahead we will be completing the short story unit next week and beginning our first major work. We will certainly have a unit test on all the work we have done so far, so begin looking over your notes and reference materials. In addition, you should familiarize yourself with the major characters and events of the stories we've read thus far. I am planning a 45 minute M/C at some point in the near future (possibly Friday). Your independent reads are due Monday and college essays are due subsequent to that. You have a lot to do. For those handing in late work, you will see a signifiant point reduction, so try to stay on top of the scheduled work. I should post new vocabulary words for this week by tomorrow. Other that that, have a great day off.
