12 Outubro 2022, 18:30 • Hilda Alexandra Prazeres Eusebio

Today we read True Trash by Margaret Atwood.

Those who did not come to today's class must read this at home. It is available on the One Drive.

Homework: finish reading the story.

Questions for you:

What are the links between the 'trashy' story that the girls are reading and their own story? What common themes do they share? How are the plots similar?
What are the many layers of meaning to be found in th title?
What are the less obvious themes to be found in this story? I.e. It's about more than sex and gender - what is it really about?
