Due 5/16: PBA Prep
May 15, 2017 By
1. PBA Prep–Given the two texts you chose over the weekend, you should identify the frame of reference? What are the grounds for comparison? (Remember, the grounds for comparison would be the similarities/differences you see in the author’s treatment of your frame of reference. This is the rationale for why you chose these two texts. As always, the more nuanced your grounds for comparison, the more substantive any subsequent discussion might be.)

Due 5/15: “PBA Prep” and No Exit
May 12, 2017 By
1. No Exit–In preparation for the closing discussion, please discuss:
Jean Paul Sartre relies on the characterization of the three main characters to develop the theme “Hell is–other people.” Just as I said to 10B: If you are of the impression that they all develop the theme similarly, then you’ve missed the nuances of each character. 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!
