TODAY IN CLASS
Sort of a slow Monday start, but there are several specifics to catch up on if you were absent:
1) Think through the range of "risk" for Julia in passing the I love you note to Winston
2) List out the details of the Victory Square description (bottom of 113 and 114)
3) List out the language at the beginning of Ch. II (first paragraph) that makes the place sound idyllic
4) Review the definition of pastoral (p. 299 in the big lit book); read Christopher Marlowe's "The Passionate Shepherd to His Love" (p.314) and "The Nymph's Reply to the the Shepherd" (p. 317) by Sir Walter Raleigh.

Everyone, FOR TOMORROW
1) Do the reading, obviously--see schedule below
2) But also- a superquick web check for the actual place in London that Orwell calls "Victory Square":

  • Search  for Trafalgar Square
  • Save at least two images of what can be found in or very near Trafalgar Square  mentioned in the paragraph.  Have them on your smart phone or know how to access them quickly on my LCC computer.
  • Know what the "real" Trafalgar Square elements are vs. the changes Orwell makes.
