Due 5/15: “PBA Prep” and No Exit
May 12, 2017 By
1. No Exit–In preparation for the closing discussion, please discuss:

So, in your binder, discuss how each character (Inez, Estelle, Garcin) uniquely contributes to the development of that primary theme–Hell is other people. Cite the text in your discussion of each character. One page…
2. PBA Prep–This weekend begin thinking about which two texts you would like to compare/contrast. That’s it, just give it some thought and be prepared to share the two you are leaning to!
Due 5/11: The Treatise
May 9, 2017 By
1. Steppenwolf–Read and annotate “The Treatise” (pp. 40-66). The treatise is critical to understanding Harry and to getting a literary grip on the rest of the novel. Each part of the Treatise presents an argument on the Steppenwolf. Keep that in mind as you read across the three sections and note how they represent a progression for the Steppenwolf.
Part I (40-50)
Part II (50-56)
Part III (56-66)
