This week was dedicated to finishing up our group presentations. To start out the week we had to finish up our reading for fantasy which was the Jilting of Granny Weatherall. Which after reading as a group we felt was very lacking in the area of fantasy. We began discussing that maybe it took a page out of Dickinson's book when she explicitly left out sight from her poem "I Felt A Funeral in My Brain" because a lot of the things we believed could happen. From our close read of fantasy the definition was more or less impossible scenarios to explain something. Which the "Jilting" seem all very possible. Granny Weatherall just seemed like a senile older woman who was loosing her grip on reality. Everything that is talked about in the story that appeared to be impossible we felt could have been explained through the fact that Granny was slowly losing her sanity. Which is what lead me to look at SparkNotes' analysis of the story to get more information and it did not help too much. Nothing in their analysis really had any answers to what I was looking for.
As a group we also prepared a slide show for the class to explain Humor and Fantasy and to address our big question. We finished up everything that we wanted to for the slide show in class. Now all we really have to do is flesh out how we want to present it to the class. Hoping to be all done with the project by early to mid next week if all goes to plan!
