Sorry, but I'm moving slow today.  Had flu or food poisoning this week.  

We will discuss the following in small groups:

In what ways is The Awakening a psychological journey of the chaotic eruptions which tend to follow years of repression/oppression?

In what ways is this a text in travail, a spiritual story of a soul's messy and tragic search for its path to wholeness?


2) Have a whole group discussion (If I'm feeling up to it)

Homework:
Quiz on Tuesday on chapters 19-39
vocab words  (10-15 questions) and content for chapters 19-39 (10-15 questions); format for vocab and content will be similar to last Awakening Quiz
