photographic documentation

Well. Here's the crew from last night's discussion of James Joyce's "The Dead." Wasn't it brilliant, guys? I came away with new insights and perspectives, especially on its role as a modern text and its examination of Irish identity. Book Club gatherings like this? Happiness.

Britt is exemplifying thoughtfully considering someone else's contribution. Amanda is exemplifying smirking. (Amanda, I love you. You know that, right? You win the coveted Best Photographed Expression Award.)

Parker, clearly modeling how to evidence textual specifics as support for a genius comment.

I wish we could retrace exactly what was being said. Can anyone provide a speech bubble here?

Yes, I seem to be fairly convinced that what I'm arguing is accurate, but (based on expression) I'm pretty sure that Matt thinks whatever I'm arguing is semi-ridiculous. Probable.

Way to wear green, all.

yes, I did just send out an email saying exactly this

(but I lack the creativity to rephrase it)

good evening, one and all,

Hope your Monday has been pleasant, that you had a fabulous fhe this evening, and are now sitting down to read a book club email (and then do something else far more exciting).
This is when we pretend that I planned to read an Irish author's short story for an Irish holiday [James Joyce, St Patrick's Day....both Irish]. And while the me-planning-the-Irish-
connections part of this is (in fact) a lie, we'll go with it. So. This Wednesday, come 'round at 8:15 for some book club cheer. It will be cheery.

We'll chit-chat about James Joyce's short story "The Dead." And if no one else feels like volunteering to make festive treats, we'll have Lucky Charms.

wear green or talk in limericks,
katie
