Class Notes 2/1/2010

  • Today, we started and ended class talking about our group presentations. These presentations will happen sometime in the distant future in an unknown fashion about an unknown topic from the class.
  • The Brothers Karamazov should be finished after spring break.
  • The book is wordy, but Mr. Sexson promises it is a worthwhile read.
  • The Groundhog Day assignment is based off of James Joyce's fascination with mundane details.
  • James Joyce's Ulysses (which is what Groundhog Day stems from) is seen by some as the greatest novel of all time. It is a detailed account of a day a man fell in love. It reiterates that we know everything we need to know and we simply need to remember it.

Assignments:

Record your earliest memory of your life on your blog, read Little Red Riding Hood, Lot, Icaraus, and google Psyche and Eros.
