In Class:
Journal-- In The Tortilla Curtain, Boyle uses Candido's and Delaney's voices to refer to both Candido and Sacheverell as 'sorry lumps of meat/flesh'--a phrase also used in "The Love of My Life." What sort of statement do you think Boyle is trying to make, particularly about Delaney's perception of Mexicans?
As a class, we read and discussed "Rodney King's Question" excerpt from Privilege, Power, and Difference, 2nd edition. [Those who were absent should read the handout and take notes to submit for credit.]
Independently, students began the next reading assignment from The Tortilla Curtain.
Homework:
Read through the end of Part One of TC; prepare to write a plot summary.
