LECTURE 4

SON OF ITALY

In bullet form, list 4 - 5 details or episodes that made a long(er) lasting impression, something you remember vividly.

1. What did you expect BEFORE you read the FIRST PART (up to page 60)?
2. What were your initial reactions to the stories of Pascal's childhood and environment?
3. What did you expect for the remainder of the book?
4. What episode or detail (something very small, that only you noticed) is still stuck in your mind? Why?
1. SON: more relevant as a source of information and knowledge about the past; or for the pathos and emotional experiences?

2. In other words, were you more taken by what you were learning -- and Pascal was just an example -- or by the story of a man and his travails?

3. Self reflection.
