Enjoy the experience of the reenactment this Friday. I cannot be with you as you surmised! Think about Henry and Red Badge of Courage and imagine what it is like being in the midst of such a melee (new word ?). The event may have a lugubrious (new word ?) effect on you! Ah we learn new things daily.
Now, for Tuesday carefully read and reread The River by O'Connor. Yes, Flannery is a woman from Savannah writing about instances of Grace in what are horrific events. Here is the prompt ***for you to write 250-500 no less- words about why Harry drowns-what led up to the drowning ? What impact might his family situation have on him? His baby sitter ? The preacher ? The whole milieu (new word ?) ? How could the drowning been avoided? What meaning does this story have for our lives? What has gone terribly wrong here for him?
*** What are the reasons for and the implications of Harry
Ashfield's drowning in "The River"?
