Today, after our warm up (which asked you to analyze a passage from the story "Spin,") we finished up going over our discussion questions from yesterday. I also showed you a short, 15-minute film called "Inja" that deals with what we talked about yesterday - the idea that cruelty can perpetuate itself and that it can come back to us. This film takes place in South Africa, but makes several connections to the short story "Spin" and the notion of relativity that we dealt with in our warm up. To view this film, click here. The last fifteen minutes of class were spent doing some guided in-class reading. For homework, please read the story "On the Rainy River" (pages 39-60) by block day and complete the guided reading questions, available for download below. Tuesday, November 18, 2008
