The Nightingales of Troy
Welcome to The Nightingales of Troy...
BLOG ONE WEDNESDAY JUNE 1ST-ARYANA First Week Team Leader Blogger Question for Discussion is,“Time is one of the book’s large themes. ‘And though my children were sleeping the sleep of the just, I half believed my unvoiced thoughts would reach them across that room full of twentieth-century light,’ Mamie thinks at the end of the first story. What do her thoughts suggest about time?” (remember we have a week to respond, but be courteous to your team leader's prompt address of the question)
BLOG 2 WEDNESDAY JUNE 8TH-TANYA Week 2 Team Leader Blogger Question for Discussion is,“Alice Fulton has called the past ‘the ultimate foreign country.’ The Nightingales of Troy covers a century with remarkable attention to detail. It’s full of fascinating period objects and artifacts, from cosmetics to medical equipment. How do these cultural objects and markers deepen your sense of the past?”
Meeting Wednesday, June 16th from 4-6ish in room CC3345. We will do the book vote around 5:30 pm. Those of you who cannot make it to the book vote can vote via email. I will send you packets of the selections and then you can email me back with your picks. Let me know if you are interested!

"END BOOK" MEETING DATE CHANGED
Hi All!
The "End Book" Meeting for Tropic of Orange will be held on Friady the 25th of February at 3:30 pm and concluding around 5 p.m. The room is TBD, but expect it to be in the usual CC3345 until otherwise noted.
Ok! But, I'm kind of confused about the blog schedule. We were supposed to post blog 1 on the 4th having read 77 pages? Or? What is the Monday and Tuesday also about?
So everyone is reminded, Monday, Tuesday, and the rest of the days of the week are the chapter breaks that Yamashita uses in the book. So the first blog which is due anytime between Friday the 4th and next Friday the 11th will be for the first 77 pages or Monday-Tuesday in the book. Then the next blog will be anytime between Friday the 11th and Friday the 18th and will be for Wednesday-Thursday in the book. Does this help clear everything up?
Ok!
