Unfortunately, yesterday while I was doing the reading assignment, I did not realize that I was supposed to refer to the entry for March 18th for my reading, not March 24th. Because of this, I was unable to ask some of my questions in today's meeting, without giving out any spoilers. As I already submitted the p.100-126 reading assignment to turnitin, I'll submit the p.84-99 assignment for next time, and instead have the discussion with this week's paper.
Today, I realized, I really need to stop reading ahead. Unfortunately, this revelation came a bit too late, as I am already almost done with the book. Due to this, I have some strength in knowing what is going to happen in the later sections of the book, and I can answer some questions about it, but also, I have been accidentally giving out spoilers on what will happen. Our discussion mainly focused on Chris' mother. We noticed several things about her, including the fact that she spelled some words wrong in her letter, which led us to wonder whether they were mispelled because she is uneducated, or because they are Britishisms. Also, we wondered why she never called Chris, instead of writing him letters, but came to the conclusion that it would look better plotwise to have letters, tangible proof that his mother is still alive. The class time for these discussions was used fairly well, better than it has been used.
