Today, we discussed "The Apple Tree" by Katherine Mansfield. We reviewed how symbolism and allusion affect the theme (message, thesis statement, etc.) of a piece.
We discussed "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri (and watched the lyric video--it had all the allusions/symbols to the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer.) We also discussed bias and how it is not a *bad* thing, instead it is the filter that everyone sees the world through.
Links here for discussion.
We discussed bias, as well.
