Week 10:
Our focus this week is to trace the progress of Edna's awakening which essentially begins and ends with the sea. Kate Chopin drew heavily on Walt Whitman's poetry as a source of many of the images and symbols used in her book. Also, consider this question: what are your feelings about Edna neglecting her children?
This is the end of marking period 1. Now, is a good time to review the course syllabus to see if YOU have made the full committment to this course...have you? That is the question. I plan on meeting with each of you, so that you could give me that answer.
Enjoy the abbreviated week...thank you for your committment...it never goes unnoticed.
