L1 Lit: Betrayal Scenes 6-9

Reminders: April 14th will be the last day to turn in a written preparation. You must do one on prose and on poetry. You also need to read The Great Gatsby by April 14th.

For Pinter this week, review the final scenes that we haven't discussed yet in class. If you would like to write on these scenes you can

1) Write 250-500 words discussing Emma's place among these men. We have not spoken a lot about her in class. Is this simply because we have chosen topics that stress the importance of Jerry and Robert? Or is there something in the play that has guided us towards this male dominated discussion?

2) A vous de poser les questions. In 100-150 words come up with a question that you think would generate a compelling discussion about these last scenes. In order to get credit for this shorter writing, you will have to
present your question to the class. Note: Questions that you don't know the answer to often make for the best dicussions.
