Today we went over the different categories of a person's self concept and how Chase might apply this understanding to how she develops characterization in her writing. Chase brainstormed how to approach her next assignment on point of view and was inspired by "The Metamorphosis." Next we read "A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez and discussed how it relates to Kafka and how the two dealt with realism and absurdism to develop their themes.
