Reading Response #1 due (Examine "vision" in a passage that you have chosen in conjunction with the barbarian-Magistrate torture scene that we discussed in class [pp. 11218]. Notice words used that have to do with sight, looking, seeing, eyes, the gaze, and, by extension, sleeping and waking up. What does one see? What is one allowed to see? What does one allow oneself to see? Is there any change or development of sight between the scene you have chosen and the one we read together?) |

No Class (midterm Week: December 2024, 2009)
Midterm (810 a.m. in class) There are two parts: 1) an essay-type question on Nadine Gordimer's short story "The Bridegroom" (at the BRK Co-op Photocopy Center), and 2) four essay-type questions from which you will choose two. Each topic asks you to write about two works. You may not discuss the same work twice. Both Waiting for the Barbarians and Ruined are required texts for this part. As always, it is helpful to take a few minutes to plot an outline before writing your essays. Formulate an thesis that shows you have read the works closely and can engage critically with the question. For each prompt, you do not need to answer every single question in the cluster. The sub-questions are there to help you think about the topic. Cite specific acts, scenes, or words in support of your argument. Give your essay a title if you like.
