Hi Everyone,
Your homework is to finish reading Hadji Murad.
To post here: Choose a short passage in the last two-and-a-half pages and comment on it.
A couple of reminders: tomorrow, you will watch the movie "Prisoner of the Mountains." It is based on a short story by Tolstoy, called "Prisoner of the Caucasus," but set in contemporary times. It deals with some of the same themes we have been reading about. On Monday, we will discuss the ending of Hadji Murad as well as the movie.
The first draft of the second essay will be due on Monday, November 17. I will give you essay topics on Monday, November 10. Next week we will read Chekhov's short stories, and the week after that Babel's short stories. David, Asia, Marina, Nicole, Rhiannon, and Leslie will present on Wednesday, November 12 (thank you to the early presenters!) ; everyone else will present on Wednesday, November 19.
Unfortunately, I can't be at school tomorrow. Nina will show you the movie. Please e-mail me if you have any questions.
Jane
