generating and circulating some questions
Beginning work on The Hostage
By Sunday night at 6:00 you should have read The Hostage, and generated a substantial number of questions which are raised for you as you read. In order to facilitate sharing them, your questions should be identified by stating at what point they occurred to you, like this:
p. 133: Who are "The Tans"?When you've finished (before Sunday at 6:00), put all your questions in an email and send them to me, at hunt@stu.ca. As a "subject" for your email, use Questions on the Hostage.
p. 133: What is the R. A. F.?
p. 134-5: Why does Pat say to the audience, "That's Irish. . . . Me, I'm only a poor ignorant Dublin man. I wouldn't understand a word of it"?
Check your email on Monday morning (after about 10:00) and I'll have
organized some ways of beginning to answer those questions, and will have
posted a new prompt with an assignment for class on Wednesday.
