JOURNAL TOPIC: [today's tunes: "What's He Building in There?" by Tom
Waits; "Halloween (Michael Myers) Theme" by John Carpenter; "This is
Halloween" by Marilyn Manson]
Since it's Dia de los Muertos, three options (one for each face plus a bonus):
1. What role does fear (of death, of loss, of discovery) play in books and movies? What role does it play in your own life and
decision-making process?
2. What masks do people wear in everyday life, i.e., how/why/when do we
intentionally adopt personae that serve purposes other than reflecting
who we are with integrity?
3. As you think about the first tune of the day, what is it about what the storyteller DOESN'T say that creates suspense?
AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. Thoreau: three quotes
POST:
What were the significance of Thoreau's quotes? Did they refer to nature, civil disobedience, society, or something else? Please translate for your readers (title: IN THOREAU'S WORDS)
