Today we went over the homework from last night ("The Balek Scales") and continued our discussion about the common theme of social criticism in the European literature that we're reading. The rest of the period was spent making another vocab review booklet for our upcoming selections. Click here for the vocab list. For tonight, please read "Forbidden Fruit" by Fazil Iskander (from the Republic of Abkhazia/Russia). Pay attention to this author's use of humor and hyperbole. Also, despite being a rather humorous family story, "Forbidden Fruit" has a somewhat serious message for the boy about how to act in the world. What do you think that message is? You may download a copy here if you did not check out a book to return. If you did not finish your vocab book, be sure to complete it at home. They will be collected on Monday.
