This week in AP lit was very "figure it out on your own." As opposed to normal lectures, we were able to get into the groups with our essay partners and do our work in the way we wanted to. Mr. Schoenborn allowed us to come up with ideas for outlining and discussion on our own, which in my opinion helps me in the long run because boss's or college professors are not very invasive, they don't care how you do it just as long as you get it done. My group discussed the books and our different opinions of them. For example some of the group members thought that both novels, The Reluctant Fundamentalist and The Fall, contained people with two different perspectives colliding. I found that when I read the books, the listener was silent and we could only tell what they were thinking or their movements by what the storyteller told us. There wasn't any colliding, they both had civil meals. Being able to disagree and find a common ground is hard but we did find a way to reword the essay so that it didn't sound too biased towards one idea or the other. I feel like myself and my group were able to contribute viable information. Though there was not a specific leader in our group I think we all had characteristics or leaders. Everybody had something to say and this opened me up to different ways of looking at things. What they said about the characters different perspectives is not wrong, I just didn't look at the novel in that light, so it gives me new ideas as well. Overall I think this week was beneficial for long term success.
