HW10 due 3/10: Class Forum

1. Class Forum–The End of The Alchemist

* We are starting Siddhartha this week, so if you would like to buy your own copy (which I strongly suggest), this is the version we will use in class.

HW12C due 3/10: Kierkegaard

1. Kierkegaard–Print and read this handout on Kierkegaard. Remember, the ultimate scholarly goal of this course is to be able to synthesize multiple philosophical principles from a number of sources. While The Stranger is Camus’ philosophical vehicle, having a base understanding of Kierkegaard gives greater depth to philosophical conclusions drawn from The Stranger. Don’t forget to annotate!
2. (DUE THURSDAY, 3/12) The Stranger–read and annotate the first two chapters!  While annotating, pay attention to Meursault’s characterization and the tone/mood of the opening chapter of the novel.

*Again, I only have 19 copies of The Stranger so, if you can, please buy a copy. This is the version we will read in class.
