Fear of Flying Presentation

Hey guys,

So in preparation for Monday's lecture on Fear of Flying, Christina and I handpicked three passages to be close-read. We split you guys into three groups of four and assigned each group an excerpt:

Group #1 - Isadora's conversation with herself (pg. 382, entire page)

Evan

Michael

Julia

Maddie

Group #2 - Isadora's womanliness (pg. 375-6, starts with "It was supposed to be flattering..." and ends on the next page with "You ladies.")

Shefali

Kate

Adam

Megan

Group #3 - Leaving with Adrian, Dishonesty (pg. 238-9, starts on bottom of 238 with "And with that..." and read all of 239)

Ed

Eric

Ricki

Shannon

Make sure to close read your specific passage and be ready to generate questions that pop up during close reading. The two key themes are monogamy and femininity so most of your questions should be centered around either/both of these themes. The excerpts are each a page long so we suggest you read your passage before class on Monday. If you guys have further questions, feel free to reply to this. I will send out an email shortly.
