reading questions for Tues. 9/2

Team A reading questions. Responses of 250-300 words are due by 9PM on Monday 9/1 as an original post. Don’t forget a creative title for your post.

1. What does the video for “My Heart Will Go On” tell you about the song? What does it suggest about the film Titanic? About the actual Titanic that sank? About Celine Dion?
2. Compare the live performances of Elliott Smith and Celine Dion. What is appealing about Dion’s performance? What is appealing about Smith’s?
3. Use the “Reading questions for secondary texts” as a jumping off point to raise any issues in the Wilson reading that you’d like to discuss in class. You might choose to focus on a single sentence, a word that seems surprising or peculiar, or a particular example he gives.
