Wednesday/Thurdsay 1/18 & 19

We watched a sultry clip of the movie to better understand and visualize the "muck," the fields, the lake and the storm.  It also showed the passion between Tea Cake and Janie.

Other topics of converstation:
Mrs. Turner- we were challenged to describe her in one sentence without using bad words!

The passage about Gods and how their worship requires blood - top of pg. 145

We looked closer at the fight that broke out in Mrs. Turner's restaurant and possibility that it was a set up of Tea Cake's in retaliation. Chapter 17

Lastly, we spent some time discussing the 2 allusions to the title of the book on at pg. 159 & 160

before leaving class we watched and listened to an inspirational song by Kirk Franklin called "Smile." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8SPwT3nQZ8
