Class Cancelled, Monday Jan 31

I have an emergency this morning and won't be able to make it to class, sorry about the late notice! Please be prepared to discuss V for Vendetta Bk I and II on Wednesday, and I'll collect your papers then,

Cindy

V for Vendetta, Bk I questions

For your answering pleasure,

Q1. What do we know about V? Can you determine anything about him objectively--age, gender, race? Can you make any qualified guesses based on the information provided?

Q2. Take a close look at the two "love" scenes in Ch 5 ("Version" p.37-41). Who are the key players in these two "relationships" and why/how are they being used in the story?

Q3. Prothero, Almond, Dascombe, Finch--who are all these people? and don't you think it's a bit hard to tell them apart?

Q4. Is there a moral balance in V for Vendetta? How do you judge acts of violence within this world? is it relativistic? in other words, who is good and who is bad? or is everyone simply a victim?

Q5. anarchy (V) or fascism (the leader). who would you rather take to the prom?


see you tomorrow,
Cindy

Welcome Spring 201

This is the blog for english 201, please view regularly to see what your classmates are posting. Most of you have already signed up for leading discussion. This is where you will post your questions for discussion. If you would like to see what that might look like, please browse the page to see how last semester's 201 formatted their questions/comments. Essentially, you will generate about 3-5 questions, some broad, some specific, concerning the material you are responsible for. For those who are not discussion leaders for that particular day, you are responsible for reading the questions before you come to class, and having ideas ready to respond to the discussion leader. Each of you is required to comment 3 times (using the comments feature) throughout the semester to a posting (3 different postings).

Questions should be posted by no later than 5pm the day before you're due to lead discussion. Responses can be posted anytime up until class meets for a particular discussion.

I think that's everything, enjoy!

Cindy
