Join up with a group (1, 2, or 3) and examine a chapter of the novel (Group 1 will examine Chapter 22 -- the Brotherhood's reaction to Tod Clifton's funeral; Group 2 will examine Chapter 23 -- Ras, Rinehart, and Hambro; and Group 3 will examine 24 -- yessing them to death -- Sybil and the escape towards Harlem).
In examining each section, create a list of AT LEAST 5 questions similar to prior lists posted on this blog and have one group member submit it in a comment along with a listing of all of your names. This will count a as a qualifying blog comment for all involved. It will also make it easier for you to get another qualifying comment by responding after class to the questions you developed.
Suggestions:
Chapter 22 (Group 1) -- consider why the Brotherhood members act the way that they do. Pay especial attention to their reactions to the IM's use of his "personal responsibility," why they resent Clifton being made a hero or martyr, and the significance of Brother Jack's eye.
Chapter 23 (Group 2) -- consider how Ras challenges the IM to speak for the Brotherhood, especially in light of the Brotherhood's reaction to the IM, why the IM initially chooses to disguise himself and what his disguise reveals to him. Also, who is Rinehart? Any questions involving Rinehart should be more specific than this one. What does Hambro tell the IM to do? What does he decide to do on his own and why?
Chapter 24 (Group 3) -- How does the IM go about his plan? Is he successful? What does Sybil want? How does the IM react?
