For Thursday, October 3

Complete the tasks on your brochure.

Define allusions.
Write page numbers for quotes chosen for each main character on your brochure.

WRITING TASK FOR THURSDAY:

Choose one of the ghosts from The Great Divorce that most represents one of your personal struggles.  I probably could pick any one....too worried about appearance, too possessive of my boys, too materialistic...and on and on...

Write me a 350 word essay or editorial~four paragraphs:
1 or 2 paragraphs:
Compare yourself to this ghost (use specific examples from novel and from life~I am not looking for all out confession just general struggles.)
1 paragraph
Next, discuss your struggle to choose joy.  When do you choose misery?
1 paragraph
A narrative or descriptive paragraph about an aspect of nature that brings you joy, draw parallels between this organic thing and you!  (Do not choose more than one thing~so today, I would choose to write about a daisy.  Consider Whitman's description of the blade of grass.)
