Spring 2016

• Admin things?
  • Questions? Concerns? Problems? Add codes?
  • Excoriation: keep writing in your journals!
• OK, back to Sanctuary
  • It just gets worse and worse, doesn't it?
  • Recap: what's happened in this novel during today's reading assignment? What's happened so far? Reconstruct the plot.
  • What strikes you about this novel's text during today's assignment?
    • Read from your journals. Discussion.
  • You've met your first, but not last, Snopes: Cla'ence (173; ch. 19). Also, Virgil: 188, ch. 21.
• Other points for discussion:
  • You're just meddling! his sister [Narcissa] said [...] [...] a street-walker, a murderer's woman. (117)
  • Or, even better: Horace/Narcissa: I dont care where you live [...] It doesn't matter what I believe. Go on away, Horace. I ask it. (184–85).
  • This morning the Baptist minister took him for a text. Not only as a murderer, [...] for having begot it. (128)
  • She [Temple] was thinking about half-past-ten-oclock. The hour for dressing [...] they could hear her being sick. [...] So I better get up and dress, she said, looking at the clock. (151–52)
  • The bawdy interlude: ch. 21.
• On The Tall Men, if desired
  • The investigator's interior monologue and classical conservatism: 46
  • old Anse: 54
  • We done forgot about folks. Life has done got cheap [...] Maybe that's what I am trying to say.
