I introduced your two-part Independent Reading Project, due on Halloween.
To begin our study of Oedipus and Things Fall Apart, I defined tragedy in classic literary terms. We discussed how almost everyone uses the term "tragedy" loosely. After I presented you with several scenarios, you determined whether each was a tragedy by our definition or a catastrophe, a horrible event that does not fit the classical definition. Finally, we read a newspaper article that explained one of the real-life tragic scenarios.
Homework: Obtain your independent book and begin reading. And don't forget to bring your id card on Monday!
