Study:
* Study the LotF Vocabulary Words (definitions only)
* Write sentences with underlined context clues for the LotF Vocab. words
* Study the quiz on the second half of LotF that we reviewed on Wednesday and Thursday.
* Study the comments that you all have made on the blog. (Read the D-block and E-block comments.)
* Make a list of the characters, motifs, and major events. Be able to explain how each relates to the overall purpose and the overall themes of the novel (the danger of ignorance about human nature, the reality of the beast within, the power of fear to unleash the inner beast, the danger of ignoring the structures and values of one's civilization, etc.)
* Read the Epstein essay at the end of the book. It will help with your understanding of Simon's encounter with the pig's head and with your understanding of the title.
* E-block only: Study the anthropological model and think about how it applies to the novel. (Don't worry D-block you'll get those notes eventually...)
