--The focus of today's brief wrap-up discussion (a continuation of last class) is clarifying the meaning of "marked for greatness" as a literary concept and applying the concept to the following characters/settings: Piggy (S.N.--Block 4), Simon (___ and A.K.), the birthmarked face boy (S.M. and ___), and the island (J.W. and S.B.). Take your notebooks back out so that you can jot down some notes for future reference.
