The Last Samurai V / The Critical Lens Essay IV

Grade 12
  • Distributed handout on the rules for writing dialogue. Will come in handy for the college app essay due Tuesday for peer review. (quest. 88)
  • Reviewed The Last Samurai so far. Algren has resolved his inner conflict recrosses the threshold back to the 'normal' world, only to be confronted by another dragon: social duty. This hero journey becomes complex in that the hero, although healed, still has to confront the external conflict and decide his place in it.
Grade 10
  • Continued practice critical lens essay.
  • Those finished began another (quote 6 on the handout), to be handed in for a major grade.
  • Those not finished with the practice essay were strongly encouraged to finish it for homework, otherwise the second essay will have to be done over the weekend or after school.
