Because of the Snow Days, I decided to move things back a little, which includes your presentations, which will now be on the week of the 21st. Note the change of the schedule below for the next four weeks.
Also, on Monday we'll have our second Writing Exam over The Prophet. I won't make you match passages to art this time, but instead, I'll ask you to create a spontaneous performance art piece using dance and mime (ha, kidding). But seriously, I'll ask you to think about why The Prophet thinks laws and particularly, moral laws, can be dangerous in society, and why the Prophet cautions people not to get too attached to them. This ties into the nature of good and evil, and why people are so keen to weigh into this debate, always seeing the 'other' person as the evil one.
