Block Day, November 30 ~ Perelandra, Ch. 4-6

Journal 32: Pleasure Decoded
First, work with a partner to come to an interpretation of the line below. Then take a few minutes to write of a time when you've actually experienced the same thing Lewis is describing.

 "As he stood pondering over this and wondering how often 
   in his life on earth he had reiterated pleasures not through
   desire, but in the teeth of desire and in obedience to a spurious
   rationalism" (43).

Now take a few minutes to finish J30.

Discuss Ch.3

Notes: Literary Criticism (deep waters...tread carefully :)

  • EQ: How do we know we have looked at enough angles to capture the meaning of a text? 
  • A short ppt (Although short and incomplete, this one has a nice summary)
  • A mini-text book (Although longer and still incomplete, this one has some helpful proof questions)
  • Which criticism do you guess is most applicable to Ch.3 in order to gain the richest interpretation?

HW: Read Chapters 4-6

Journal 33: For each chapter, decide on a suitable literary lens (make sure you choose a different one for each chapter). Write a paragraph for each chapter explaining what richer meaning can be gained from viewing it through your chosen lens. (You may find the questions in the second link helpful here).
