* Schwager: 

• Discuss Journal 5 
• Now read "Through the Tunnel" by Doris Lessing.  Takes notes on the following in your binder:

• 1. Check the text to see what you learn about the thoughts and feelings of Jerry’s mother. How would the story be different if she, rather than the omniscient narrator, were telling it? 

• 2. What details about Jerry’s swim through the tunnel were most vivid and terrifying to you? 

Doris Lessing (1919-- ) holding the Nobel Prize in Literature, 2007

• 3. Have you ever taken great risks to prove yourself?  Do you find it convincing that Jerry takes such a risk and survives? Explain. 

• (Reno)
• Journal 5 (at least 1/2 page): Examine the role narrative perspective plays in something you have read (book, story, poem), watched (movie, television show), or heard (song).  What is the perspective?  How well does it work with the message of the piece?  What would happen if the perspective were different (say, another character; or perhaps moving from omniscient to limited, etc.)? You might want to revisit your notes on POV.
