JOURNAL TOPICS: [today's tunes: "Fight the Power" (slightly edited)
by Public Enemy; "What's Going On" by Marvin Gaye; "Imagine" by John
Lennon]
Like Plato's "Allegory of the Cave," each of
today's tunes expresses a perspective on the idea that the human
condition can-- and should-- be better. Analyze the tone and theme of
each tune and evaluate its effectiveness. (Regarding the latter,
attempt to be objective, i.e., focus on its reasoning/rhetorical
appeal-- if you find yourself describing what you "like" then
acknowledge this as a matter of personal preference rather than
technical or artistic merit.)
AGENDA:
1. Check out Tale of Two Cities and/or Great Expectations from library (if needed)
2. Journal
3. Plato's "Allegory of the Cave": background and essay prep
HW:
1. Review vocab for tomorrow's quiz
2. Review Plato/notes for tomorrow's essay
