for our MOM: [If you can, go outside. If you can't go outside, go to a window where you can see the sky. If you're stuck in the basement, close your eyes and imagine it. The sun on your face. The breeze tickling your skin. Mmm. Happy Earth Day.]
JOURNAL TOPIC:
At the beginning of today's reading, Granger talks about his Grandfather and what happens if we forget our place in nature. What does he say? Do you agree with this?
-OR-
You can use your journal simply to write about life and your experiences in these unusual, challenging times.
AGENDA:
1. MOM
2. Journal
3. Our meeting
4. Please remember to read the essay I wrote
POST: We talked about Montag's reaction to the city's destruction, how it turned everything upside down, but at the same time gave him a chance to reflect. He even seemed to find some compassion for Mildred. This is a trademark of modernism as a genre, and also of Montag as a dynamic character. Describe Montag's reaction, your reaction to Montag's reaction, and how it aligns (or doesn't) with your experience in dealing with emotionally complex situations (like, say, a breakup, or a socially crippling coronavirus pandemic). (Title: IT'S COMPLICATED)
