Week 8



Class, today we will review the responses you wrote to "Suffer the Little Children," by Stephen King, and the film Into the Wild, directed by Sean Penn.  Each is a story interesting in its psychological underpinnings, its portrayal of people who take extraordinary actions in the service of "reality," or their understanding of it, and of the conflicts that sometimes plague human relationships, and that sometimes climax in strange ways indeed.

We will look, too, at some student examples of final projects and performances of poetry.   Your final project will be due week 11, and the recitations.   I will also give the multiple choice final that day.
