10 Outubro 2022, 17:00 • Hilda Alexandra Prazeres Eusebio
Today we read and analyzed How to talk to a Hunter by Pam Houston.
- how the second voice affects the reader in this particular text;
- how does it differ in tone from the more common, more predictible second voice texts;
- how does it differ/it what way is it similar to A Kid's Guide to Divorce;
- notice how the author alternates between the imperative (when talking to 'you') and future tenses when talking about/describing everything around them;
- notice how we don't know the names of any of the characters (except for Janie Coyote and we suspect, quite rightly, that it is a fake name).
- What does this all mean?

Today we read True Trash by Margaret Atwood.
- 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?
