FOR THU NOVEMBER 13 (also info about quiz)

Three part posting for two separate questions:

1) Your well-argued opinion about the characters in Give Us This Day: most likely they are not what you expected. Did it make the film more interesting or a disappointment? Or something else?

2) Choose one scene or a character from the movie that you think would be appropriate for the book Christ.

3) Reply to the comment immediately before yours: did you notice the scene/character your classmate mentioned? Do you interpret it the same way?

QUIZ: I will test GIVE US THIS DAY and CHRIST IN CONCRETE. If you did not take or did not pass the previous quizzes on Christ this is your last chance to show you did the reading and you did it the right way.
