British Literature Class Notes -- Week 7 (March 10)

Greetings!

My apologies for the lateness of this e-mail.  We had a busy weekend with a conference and out of town guests.

For a change of pace, we took our discussion to the coffee shop at Grace.  With coffees and a few chicken tenders in hand, we talked through some of the details of Pip's life and his "expectations." 

With a book of this length, it can be hard to keep up with the reading.  We talked about some ways to do this, including listening to audio versions of the book.  Personally, I've been listening to the free Librivox version to supplement my reading.  I've read Great Expectations multiple times, and listening to it gives me a new perspective.

Next week we will be in the class room.  We'll watch portions of an older BBC version of the book.  This performance was done as a mini-series and is probably the one that is truest to the text.

Assignments for Next Week:
-- Read to page 286
-- Write 3 Discussion Questions

See y'all on Thursday,
Mrs. Prichard
