Just Mine Now

Here's that link to the lecture we started watching today: Plato's " Allegory of the Cave ."  There are others available (lectures) should you want to search for others. Be prepared to participate in related activities in class tomorrow. 

The following article has recently appeared at the Atlantic Monthly website.  The reason I'm bringing this to your attention?  I have said in the past that the subject of Annie Dillard's master thesis was Walden .  This article expands on that somewhat, " The Thoreau of the Suburbs ."  It is well worth the read.  Possible assignments may arise in the near future related to this article.
