The work:
We now enter into the final stretch of senior year (BB). For the past few weeks we have been reading Stephen Crane's novel The Red Badge of Courage. We have noticed the extreme use of themes that Crane uses throughout the novel (DM). We received a project on researching "youth" soldiers in current conflicts all around the world today (TJ). The point was to graph two people and compare and contrast their life stories (VC). A trip to the library aided our efforts to identify a youth that could be compared to Henry (RH). We reviewed Henry's ideas of becoming a man and what it takes (DG).
The workers:
Brendan pointed out the relationship between Jim Conklin and Jesus (NR).
Dan noted how "The Bride Comes to Yellos Sky" parallels the Red Badge of Courage in many themes (KK).
Rob reminded us that the sheriff fights scratchy (ER).
Erik says Henry never felt so weak. Chapin correctly cited an example on the board (MF).
Mike talked about the packet of letters (TJ).
Pat told the class that Henry encounters an enemy flag bearer (DM).
Brendan made a connection between Crane and his short story's setting...(RH).
