Classics/Foreign Lit, 4-20, Period 2

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Dream half-smiled at the class as they came in, which from him should be counted as an infectious grin.

"Hello, students. Welcome to your very last class that will focus on new material. Next week, you will devote both days to preparing your final projects."

"For today, though, there is work to be done. Literature students, please select a poem by an African author and write a few sentences in reaction. Classics students, you are to read a biography of the great writer Horace, and react to any of his surviving poems."

Nadia picked a poem about tomatos. That turned out to be really very creepy.

"It's about justice, or lack of justice. About blaming people for your problems even when it doesn't make sense. About . . . paranoia. I think that's the word. The people in the poem are paranoid."

"Ouologuem is paranoid, yes," Dream said. "But do you believe his paranoia may have reason behind it?"

"Actually, I meant the people in the town. But, yes, if everyone is blaming everyone else for things, then I think he would have a reason to be paranoid."
