The weather people say that Thursday was, most likely, our last really cold day. It's March and we're half way through the second semester at CHAT -- it could be that Spring is really on its way!
We are approximately half way through Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. By this point of the book,we have a good sense of the characters ans some of the themes. In our discussions, we can analyze more deeply many of the relationships and decisions of our characters because Dickens has done a thorough job of presenting the actors in this story to us.
The plot, on the other hand, continues to twist and turn. This novel was one that Dickens published in monthly installments of his periodical, All the Year Round. It was important that he write a "page turner" so that people would buy his magazine. Students, be prepared for some surprises as you continue reading.
Assignments for Next Week:
-- Read p. 191 - 286
-- Bring 3 discussion questions to class -- at least one that is theme-related.
Links for this Week
(Some are repeats from previous weeks, but might be helpful for this week's reading, too.)
Enjoy the weekend!
