Brit Lit:

Today:

I shared information on the new 1984 movie that is being filmed.  Let's home it is not as horrible as it sounds.  A romantic 1984 love story?  Yikes.  I thought they ruined Gatsby last year....

We read the short story Shooting an Elephant by Orwell.  We looked at his experience in India and discussed how it shaped his writing.  We also looked at power and tried to understand why it is to be feared.

I passed out the review sheet for your final and gave you 25 minutes in small study groups to begin to but these together.  You may use one page of notes to help you remember the examples.  Please make sure you have specific examples, not broad statements.

One of you left an iphone charging in the back of my room.  It is safe locked in my desk.
