November 1st Recap



Because a large percentage of the class was suffering from some terrible Halloween hangover, either physical or spiritual, or both, I decided to take pity on your debauchery-inclined selves and extend the RA deadline to Tuesday. Likewise, be prepared to say lots of smart things about "Trip to Hanoi" on Tuesday in class. It is an important text and merits a thorough discussion.

Meanwhile, back at the farm, the brave souls who did make it to class (including Kiersten, who was still recovering from her cameo as Little Red Riding Hood) watched the first 40 minutes of the film Path to War. I am going to watch the remaining 2 hours of the film at 8pm on Monday night at my humble home, and everyone is invited. It is not mandatory to show up, but it is mandatory that you watch the film. If you plan on making it, please let me know so I can buy ample popcorn.

Next Thursday's RA will ask you to compare and contrast (loosely and in any insightful way you see fit) Path of War and Fog of War, the other film which you are responsible for watching this coming week.

A peaceful and restful weekend to you all.
