Getting Back On Course by Monday, 2/23

By Monday, 2/23,  you are to have read up until the end of section 1, Chapter 20 (p. 105 in my version) of White Noise.

We will resume with our Student Leaders, and at this time. 

As we are reading a novel, it will be important to talk about:

1) The novel as commentary on technology and culture, through characters,

2) through plot,

3) through setting

4) and from the narration and exposition (the language of the text).

Also, as mentioned in class this past Monday, our general theme for discussions while discussing this novel is How "we" deal with technology in our lives.

All of the above should help our discussions, and I ask that we try to focus more on these ideas so that we can really explore the specific impacts of technology in our modern, everyday lives.
