On Thursday, we will do "Hot Seat" where one member of a team will sit in the "hot seat" as a character from Crime and Punishment - Raskolnikov, say - (with other members of her/his team acting as a lifelife) and answer questions (as that character) posed by the other teams.
On Wednesday, we are going on a field trip! We are leaving at 9 am for the Mark Taper Forum (which is in downtown) to see TOP DOG/UNDER DOG. We will be back by 1:30.

3. The Wedding Bouquets: Whose wedding bouquets are described by Flaubert? How are they described? What do the character(s) do with the bouquets? How does Flaubert use the wedding bouquets to comment on the character(s) of the women and to comment on the themes?
4. Ribbons: Whose ribbons are described? How are they described? What do these descriptions reveal about the character(s), their personalities and their circumstances?
