Learning Target: Analyze character choices, perspectives, and relationships.

Reading: Read your independent reading book.

Argue ideas, not things!

Agenda:

1. Speed reading MC practice
2. Mahayla will present the chapter "Hanseldee and Greteldum."
3. "Silver Blaze" discussion
1. "The desire of being persuaded that all human experience may be presented in terms of a problem having a predictable, final, complete and sole possible solution accounts, to a great extent, for the late extraordinary popularity of detective fiction."
2. Detective fiction takes our mind off our troubles.
3. "The beautiful finality with which the curtain rings down on the investigation conceals from the reader that no part of the problem has been solved except that part which was presented in problematic terms. The murderer's motive has been detected, but nothing at all has been said about the healing of his murderous soul."
4. "If, therefore, we are to deal with our problems in a creative way, we must deal with them along the artist's lines: not expecting to solve them by a detective trick, but to make something of them, even when they are, strictly speaking, insoluble."
