Thursday, December 13, 2012 Pick up where we left off yesterday—Chapter Three: “The Spouter Inn”
Chapter Three: “The Spouter Inn” --The painting “Indefinite, half-attained, unimaginable” --QUEEQUEG! --rumors about him --physical description --confrontation
Chapter Four: “The Counterpane” Counterpane --another word for a bedspread --what is the extended metaphor here? • “But Queequeg, do you see, was a creature in transition state – neither caterpillar nor butterfly.” • Characterization • Human understanding: While Queequeg is introduced and appears to be socially under developed and uncivilized, he may, internally be more civilized than most others, as we will come to understand throughout the journey.
Looking ahead . . . • Chapters 7 – 9 due tomorrow • You will take a quiz on 1 – 4, 7 – 9 • Come prepared to ask any questions you need BEFORE the quiz. Questions must be written out in advance (a la Scarlet Letter) • Steven & Hinal will present their object • Review 7 – 9 • 12 – 16 due on Monday (Kelly & Lucy / Dan & Tyler)
