Notes 1-19-07

Welcome to Classical Foundations of Literature with our leader Michael Sexson.

Antigone: memorize lines 441-580 because they are supreme ( and you will have less friend, but also a better person for it).

Originary- Back to the origins (it's a new word, sort of).

Get a copy of the Bozeman Daily Comical I mean Chronicle and see what's new and what's old.
What's old is more important than what's new.

You couldn't talk about anything in the newspapers so plays were made about things in the past.
Trojan Women- the class is framed in women.
Why do people think what's new is important?

Why is Elvis and Simone Weil on the cover of the books?

"And then you lose more friends"- M. Sexson.
