STARTER #6
Choose one of the questions below and respond to it!
  • “But a man who knows about his own death and willing accepts it and dies anyway, isn’t that the type of man  you want to keep alive?” (paraphrased, Ms. Eiffel)  Is Harold from the movie Stranger than Fiction an “Absurd Hero”?  
  • What is Ms. Eiffel supposed to represent?
  • Are the film producers suggesting there is a higher power that controls our fate or was Harold able to have free will?
  • Would you rather live a long life and die by choking on a mint or would you rather die in a meaningful way that helps you leave a powerful legacy?
  • How does Stranger than Fiction relate to The Stranger? In what ways are Mersault and Harold Crick similar? In what ways are they different?
  • What or who might Dustin Hoffman represent (think about his advice to Harold about pancakes AND to accept his death...)

AGENDA
1.  Discuss the film-- starting first with your general reactions, confusions, questions
2.  Listen to "Killing an Arab" by The Cure (based off of Mersault) and follow along with the lyrics
3.  Individual Seminar Prep time: 
  • Please have  your annotations out during work time for me to check
