Discussion Topics

Adaptation
Discussion topics for 6.11.12:
1) Who are the characters in "Stage to Lordsburg?" What do we know about each one and how do we know it?
2) How are the characters in the movie Stagecoach different from the characters in the short story? What effect do the changes have on the meaning of the material?
3) What is the main theme of the short story? Of the movie?
4) Was the movie different in any way from how you expected it to be?


Continuing readings:
1) Finish reading "Stage to Lordsburg." Pay attention to who the many characters are.
2) Read A Room With a View. On 6.18.12, come to class prepared with three passages from the novel that tell us something important about a character or characters.
3) Begin reading Being There. Focus on the tone of the novella. Look for two passages that demonstrate that tone.
