Today in class we discussed the philosophical and poetic quality of Tagore’s prose, and the distinctive style and form of this political allegory. For your discussion post assignment this week, pull a passage from Home and the World that interests you for its philosophical and/or poetic content. Type up the passage (or an excerpt of the passage if it is particularly long) into your discussion post, with a page number citation. Then write a1-2 paragraph analysis of the passage. This can be a close reading, where you analyze the literary devices used in the passage, it can be a discussion of a theme you see developing in the novel, it can be an interpretation of the meaning of the passage, or a contention you have with the philosophical point of view, etc.
Please also post a 1-2 paragraph post on the discussion board outlining what you see to be some of the key points from this excerpt, as well as what you found particularly interesting about the documentary so far.
