homework for this friday

Hi Guys!

Second Reading of Chelkash
Mark places where you respect or pity either Chelkash or Gavrilla.

Mark places where Chelkash tries to corrupt Gavrilla, and places where he shows that he cares for him.

For our textual analysis we will examine an exerpt from page 95 beginning with "Nice, the sea, isn't it," and ending, "and gives birth to great dreams."

Then we will do some dramatic reading! I know! Exciting!! (and dramatic)

We will read pages 113-116 and pages 116 - 188 with feeling :) and then do a textual analysis.

And here are the post-discussion writing questions for the FOLLOWING week. I'm just going ahead and posting now them because I am sitting here and it is convenient.

1. Does a thief like Chelkash emjoy more freedom than someone who follows the law?

2. Do you admire people who refuse to live by any rules other than their own?

3. Is Gavrilla right when he claims that money is the key to "honor, comfort, and pleasure"? (pg 112)

4. Do you think you would make a good professional thief?

5. Why do people become outcasts like Chelkash?

6. Does your world make you choose, like Chelkash, between being a "slave" or being free?

I THINK THESE ARE SOME GREAT QUESTIONS! I look forward to hearing what you guys have to say.

Hmmm...it sort of sucks that you never posted the rest of the questions on here, Mom. I'm going to go on an epic search for the little red book now.
