HW due 1/7: The Trial
January 6, 2016 By
1. The Trial–Complete “Lawyer/Manufacturer/Painter”. Be prepared to discuss the following:
What relations does Titorelli the painter have to the Court and K.’s trial? Is this his real name? Describe the section of town where Titorelli resides, his neighbors, and the building he lives in. What role do the girls play in their meeting? Does their physical deformity say anything about their moral character?
Titorelli is working on a portrait of a Court judge that has a dark figure in the background; he explains that the figure has been commissioned to represent “Justice and the goddess of Victory in one” (p. 145). What does this combination say about the nature of K.’s trial? What does Titorelli explain to K. about the possibility of winning a case?

2. Post your thesis on the class forum.
3. Alanis Morissette Project–In preparation for the project, work with the situations in the song (i.e. the lottery winner, black fly, cigarette break, etc) and rewrite ONE so that it is ironic or write your own fresh situation. Be thoughtful and creative. Again, TONIGHT you only need to rewrite one of the situations from the song to make it ironic.
