Dear Students,
Today, we will finish a close reading of the last speeches of The Symposium. This weekend, you should write (and finish) writing your own speech about Love. Please make it a minimum of one double-spaced page.
Following the screening of Quantum of Solace, you should be preparing your explanation of how the film uses familiar issues of conflict and greed (i.e.: monopolization of oil resources) to communicate to the viewer the gravity of the bad guys' pursuit of the freshwater resources of Bolivia. Why do they want to own water? How is this going to give them power? Is this humane?
Beginning Monday, we will be working both on rewriting past assignments and preparing final projects. All drafts can be checked in class and rewritten without penalty. Please take the opportunity to do so.
Should you have any questions, please let me know in class or by email: n.brooksdevita@hccs.edu
