And so here are the two chapters I’d like you to read for Wednesday. Please print them out for class or have them available on your device as a pdf. The first chapter is titled “The Exegesis.” Here it is:  Kraus The Exegesis Chapter.

The second is titled “Monsters.” Here it is: Kraus Monsters Chapter.

Please come to class ready to discuss the following: What value system is implied through Krause’s actions? (I.e., what is her belief system?) How do her beliefs (as you conceive them) contrast with your own? And: how is our theme (formation/appropriation of self) expressed in the text?
