My idea for Tuesday is to make like a real college lit class and get ourselves waist-deep or perhaps even up to our necks in metaphoric language. After all, the class is called Advanced Placement English Literature & Composition even if we affectionately know it as good ol' AP Lit.
So let's be advanced, shall we?
The assignment is to come to class with some passages—say four or five—identified and noted down (page number with a brief summary for each) on paper. That should give us a good basis for discussion.
Possible symbols or metaphors:decay & rotstars & spidersfirenames (Estella, Pip, Satis HouseSatis House itselfmist & fog
We can have a great discussion if we all do our part. Of course we have the class distinctions & plot issues to sort through also. All in all, could be a very stimulating class. Be sure to wear your tweeds and bring along pipes & tobacco. A goatee to stroke thoughtfully also might be a nice touch for the proceedings. Just make it tasteful.

I am sorry to say that I am going to be gone for this awesome college class discussion but I have an appointment at the same time. I will bring in my findings for the next class though.
