We are going to conclude reading GE in Cycle 8. You may continue to read/answer study questions according to your own schedule. Other assignments (discussion/take-home (haha) test/reading quiz) TBA.
In the meantime, take a look at one of the best classic movies with one of the best directors and some of the greatest actors of all time. The movie omits a great deal but, overall, is true to the novel. (Believe me: I've seen them all and this one from 1946 is by far the best.)
An (substantial) XC opportunity for those who wish to respond to the movie will be announced soon. As you watch, take note of:
1. differences from the text
2. surprises
3. situations or characters that you have new or different insight on after viewing the movie
4. Obi Wan Kenobi (GOAT)
