- New Term: extended metaphor - a metaphorical comparison that continues at length and is shown in several ways. As your example, find at least three ways that the soul is compared to something that may be consumed in Letter 5.
- Discuss: In Letter 6, Screwtape tells Wormwood, "[God] wants men to be concerned with what they do; our business is to keep them thinking about what will happen to them." Summarize very briefly what Screwtape is saying. How does your understanding of Christ compare with Screwtape's statement about God's intent for man? Consider Matthew 7:24-27, Ephesians 2:10, and James 3:13.
*Read Letter 7
- Discuss: In Letter 7, Screwtape instructs Wormwood to "nurse" the patient into thinking that his religion is merely part of some greater "Cause" - in this case, either the British war effort or pacifism. How can a cause -however good it may be in itself- become an evil? What examples can you think of from history or even your own experience?
*Homework
- Complete a Journal on chapters 5-7
- Study commas and roots.
