From Olivia: Thursday, October 22

We'll discuss the reading homework.
We'll listen to this.
We'll read a little Joan Didion.
We'll interrogate ourselves in order to make our narratives as strong as possible.

* * * * *

Here are your vocab words for the day:

consulate:
the local offices of a foreign government official

accidie:
indifference, apathy

Aristophanic:
Aristophanes was a Greek comic poet.
Knowing that information, what do you think Didion means by "the Aristophanic view"?

disparate:
entirely dissimilar

phantasmagoria:
a fantastic/magical seeming sequence of vivid, surreal images (like you'd experience in a dream or a fever)
