TODAY IN CLASS
Mr. Pontelier/Edna:  their marriage/relationship (initial impressions)
Edna/Robert:  what do they see in each other?  what's the nature of the relationship?
How is Edna an outsider?
Creole and Cajun (as terms, as Louisiana cultures)

FOR TOMORROW
Expect a reading check quiz.
We'll focus (about 20 min. max) on the marital spat at Grand Isle, Robert and Edna's day trip, and the last night at Grand Isle (the piano playing and the swim).

Optional Reading (but do take a look at it for sure--the first page or two will give you a flavor of Cajun speech and lifestyle)
