Thursday: Binary Oppositon & The Chosen

I handed out "Handout 10" and "Handout 12" both dealing with binary opposition and themes in The Chosen.


One was about "Changing Views" and one was about "Intellectual Freedom." We also had a class discussion after the quiz where we discussed chapter summaries & important elements in the reading.


Today's quiz was about critically reading the text. We do get caught up in plot, characters, etc. that we miss theme and symbolism. You should also have a sense/feel for binary opposition (again). We often call this in literature: Parallelism.
