Questions for Discussion

Ok, here is what I have down for our discussion questions (the brackets are our implied discussion):

(1) Discuss Fugitive Pieces in relation to other texts studied so far in its portrayal of Memory (psychology, bloodmemory, heritage, permanence of grief, collapsing of time)

(2) Discuss FP in relation to other texts studied so far in its portrayal of Language (immigration and immigrative action, language as exclusion, language as freedom, reflection and expression, identity)

(3) Discuss FP in relation to other texts studied so far in its portrayal of History (stylistic - historiographic metafiction, representation of marginalised or lost stories, subjectivity/objectivity, history vs narrative)

Does this look alright?

Yep that looks good. I can use my scanner to mesh the questions+quotes together, and then print them off tomorrow. RE: the quotes, i'll get back to you in a bit - dinner time. Oh and my speech plan shall follow shortly.
