Appleman Chapter Two

Chapter Two

Here, Appleman describes that all your students will have different perspectives from different works; however, all of them are just as important. Yes, some may be wayy off, but like I said earlier, It's a start!
I like the different perspectives Appleman puts us through. Starting with Rachel and playing devil's advocate. I remember very well a teacher I had that is similar to Rachel. The reason why I remember him is because he would do this soo effectively. Understanding that there is more than one outide issue is detrimental for all college bound students. I like the idea of taking the idea of plot and considering it in other characters perspectives.

Star Wars, can one think about a better way to introduce archetypes in the classroom? Probably not. It's neat to see fun and interesting ways to teach literary theories without being too didatic.

I feel for any of this to be successful, the students and the teacher need to achieve a relationship that is comfortable and willing to think outside the box. Allowing the students to open their minds and explore different interpretations is a huge part in a student's academic and maturing life.
