Denotation and connotation! Do you remember the difference? Let's look at a word like "school". What is the denotation of school? I know you can all figure that one out as a place of learning. I also know you all have a lot to say about the connotation of school. Boring? Prison? Fun? An escape? The word has some baggage doesn't it? Don't forget that some words have negative connotations and some words have positive connotations. Which one does school have? Could it be both? Neutral?
That was a bit of a tight fit today in class as we began our Night discussion. Remember how hot and uncomfortable it became in such a short piece of time when we stood so closely together. That was just a small taste of what the Jews experienced.
There is some powerful reading in tonight's ten pages (29-39). Be ready to discuss the events and your reactions.
See you soon.
