Work for the Week of December 1st - Seniors


Monday Dec. 1st
Minutes: Kazi, Brian T.
Reading HW: N/A
HW: N/A

Tuesday Dec. 2nd
Minutes: Zach, Sheldon
Reading HW: Ch. 13-14 The Bell Jar
HW: It's odd how Esther finds moments of piece in some engulfing body of water.  We note her baptismal bath after her episode with Doreen and now her repeating a mantra as she swims in the ocean.  What is it about these particular moments that bring Esther such peace?

Wednesday Dec. 3rd
Minutes: Mo, Dmitri
Reading HW: Women's Wednesday!  Today we'll be exploring performance artist Marina Abramovic.  Read this profile.
HW: Watch some of Abramovic's performances.  Just type her name into YouTube and go from there. Note, some of the performances are extremely long, you do not have to watch the entire piece.  An excerpt is sufficient.  Be warned, these performances can be perceived as "weird".

Thursday Dec. 4th
Minutes: Darren, Thomas
Reading HW: Ch. 15-17 The Bell Jar
HW: Please react to Dr. Nolan and Joan.  What are your impressions of these characters?

Friday Dec. 5th
Minutes: Brian H., Sisi
Reading HW: Finish The Bell Jar and read the biography of Sylvia Path included in the book.
HW: What does the bell jar signify?  What do you see in Esther's future?  Is Esther meant to be Plath?

Monday Dec. 8th
Minutes: Max S., Ben
Reading HW: Please read "But Some of Us Are Brave"
HW: Is there a difference between feminism and Black feminism?  Consider the majority of authors we have read so far in this class.  How/does race intersect with feminism?
