In the first half of the session we continued to textually analyze Daisy's "inscrutable combination of audacity and innocence"-a central theme of the novel. We discussed how Daisy claims that she does not wish to do anything improper but then openly flaunts convention insisting to Winterborne that she "never allows a gentleman to dictate to me ." We discussed how the novel is in fact a study of how Daisy plays both the innocent, the rebel, and the disingenuous. I further pointed out how James' explores the conscious mind of Winterborne, a device quite new in 1878. During the second half of the session, Joshua completed vocabulary exercises based on vocabulary words taken from the novel.

Joshua and I met on Teams today. We completed the lesson we started yesterday on solving Trig Equations and Inequalities. We worked by using techniques to solve for the given angle measures. Then we considered where on the unit circle would give us an equivalent trig value and we listed those. Then we used our graphing calculator to help us solve the intersection of two trig functions.

We continued to study James' Daisy Miller by focusing on the differences between American and European culture and psychology. We specifically addressed the double standard for Men and Women and how this double standard impacts society's view of Daisy's nonconformist behavior ,especially as it pertains to her keeping company with many men. Joshua further did well in identifying specific text highlighting James' view of Americans as uncultured and crude . Further, we noted the significance of Daisy's visit to the Castle of Chillon and reviewed how Daisy's social plight suggests the similar plight of the protagonist of Byron's poem, "The Prisoner of Chillon." Last, we reviewed Joshua's study guide answers that addressed these topics .
