Continue watching the film adaptation of A Passage to India, paying attention to how the film shows us visually what is taking place in comparison to how the novel shows us textually (description, simile/metaphor, and interiority). Remember that the film is a guide and support for our reading of the novel. The final exam will focus on the novel.

Weekly Memorandum (write about your reaction to the second part (Caves) of A Passage to India. Keep your remarks focused on the novel and use our viewing of the film as a way to help better understand the characters, setting, and narrative. You will have an opportunity to write about the relationship of the film and novel in a future Weekly Memo assignment).
