| Dresden after the fire bombing |
| The original book cover |
1. Read Chapter 5 in Slaughter House Five for MONDAY.
Consider:
a. Suspension of Disbelief - the possibility that Billy's story is true.
b. Realists - Barbara's POV that her father Billy is senile and delusional.
2. Watch either a Science Fiction movie (time travel, futuristic, or aliens) or a Dark Comedy.
(DO NOT Watch Slaughter House Five - we may watch it as a class later, but not until after we've finished the book. I haven't decided yet - and it may spoil the book. We will definitely watch Dr Stangelove - so don't watch that film either.)
3. Post to our class blog the following:
a. a trailer or youtube clip for your movie.
b. a brief summary and review of your movie in your own words.
c. a paragraph highlighting and explaining a moment of dramatic irony - a comic or tragic scene where the dramatic irony made the scene either funny or suspenseful.
An excellent definition for dramatic irony from:
A Glossary of Literary Terms By Meyer Howard Abrams, Geoffrey Galt Harpham
