Cat Conclusion; Williams Response; Bradbury

We will conclude our viewing of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Then we'll be in the lab momentarily to respond to Williams' plays. We will also be getting Martian Chronicles from the library.

Please read Martian Chronicles over break. See post above for help with this book. Martian Chronicles is compiled (like a few other Bradbury novels) as a collection of interlinked short stories. The stories are arranged chronologically and metaphorically represent the settling and foundation of America. You may insert "Native American" where you see Martian to some extent if you need a theme and/or a point for the novel.

Please read about and view samplings of Bradbury's work above.

HOMEWORK: Please complete your reading of the Martian Chronicles.
