Greetings,
Reminder: come prepared for the second in-class essay tomorrow.
You will have a choice of prompts.
Here are, briefly, what the choices will be:
1. You will be asked to discuss three possible themes from The Namesake and provide at least three specific reasons/supports for each theme.
2. You will be asked to make an assertion about your experience reading the novel versus viewing the film--which experience did you enjoy more and why? It is possible that you enjoyed both but for different reasons. You will be required to explain why, specifically.
3. Select a character from the novel that you believe most readers find most relatable and why. You will need to be, of course, very specific and offer logical and insightful supportive evidence.
4. Through his life experiences and due to maturity, Gogol's definition of home changes throughout the novel. What would be his definition of home at each "stage" in the novel, and how do you think he would define home at the close of the novel?
