Real Hero or Mock Hero?

[Choose 1-2 of the following to post about]

You should be able to write about past half of the novel.  Do not reveal the end.  If you are in the TH White, first half of the novel is fine.

*What heroic aspects does your main character have or lack?

*What is being mocked in your book and how does this compare with the farce/satiric play we viewed from NMU?

*What aspects of the government or society are being made fun of in your book and/or the play we viewed?

You may discuss any beginning segments of your new novel but do not spoil the end of the book (yet).  

Funny pun names based on any of the literature--encouraged or post as yourself.  

PLEASE DO NOT POST WITHOUT A NAME

For full credit, you MUST have quotations as support of your points from 2 texts, you MUST show reading and avoid online summary info, you MUST respond to a minimum of 2 posts.  Points will be deducted for those students who wait until the last 12-24 hours, for spelling problems, repeating information already stated, confusing responses, attacking classmates verbally, simply agreeing without saying much of anything, or off-topic commentary.  

------APA documentation must be used----
Your argument will be judged harshly, so be prepared to defend yourself!

**This blog will end at 10 a.m. or sooner on 10/27.  Remember that starting on the last 12-24 hours prior will result in loss of points since your discussion will be limited.

Leadership and Literature

 

Can books teach us anything about our leaders today?

[Choose 1-2 of the following to post about]

*You may wish to compare and to contrast the 2 books you have read (or should now be reading) 

*What new information have you learned about your main character (as a leader or not) that you have started reading?

*You may incorporate any satirical aspects covered in your new text (up to about 1/2 or 3/4 through)

*You may also compare and contrast All My Sons to your new text, or all 3.

*How are you as a person compared to your new text in terms of leadership qualities?  What is similar/different?  What about the prior text that you just finished?

You may discuss any beginning segments of your new novel but do not spoil the end of the book (yet).   I should be able to tell that you completed reading book 1 by now.
