We continued yesterday's lesson developing an analytical framework for the novel by examining opposing forces: external beyond control and free will resistance to these forces . In this regard, we reviewed last night's homework which required Joshua to prepare a textual analysis of certain passages illustrating these conflicting forces. I provided an instructional format for preparing a textual analysis and we worked on revising Joshua's written work to include the broader significance of the passages such as tying them to the elements of the Naturalist genre. Likewise, we revised the analysis on the internal forces of individualism, such as love and courage ,and noted how the novel raises the question as to whether Man can ever successfully challenge the external forces that seem destined to "break" us. Last, we studied earlier drafts of certain dialogue passages in the novel wherein the narrator in early drafts perfectly describes Hemingway's terse writing style noting,"if you want to keep anything it is best not to talk about it."
