Break up into small
groups. Have at least one member of your
group (1) prepare a summary of your group's discussion and (2) include a list
of your group's members. If you are doing this as a student in the fall, 2020,
section of the course and were not able to attend class the day we did this
group work, please complete the work alone or with others and submit your answers
through the canvas inbox or email to Kagan@lemoyne.edu.
Discuss your answers to the following
questions.
1. Middle Woman is of the self-named. In the
context of her life, what is the meaning of her name?
2. What are Middle Woman's most obvious
virtues? Are they considered to be virtues in her culture? Why and/or why not?
What about in your culture(s)?
3. What does Middle Woman do well?
4. Is Middle Woman a great-souled person? Why
or why not?
5. What does Middle Woman teach us about the
human spirit? Or, if you prefer, what is the moral of the story?
6. Discuss someone else (changing names as
needed to preserve confidentiality) who is self-named. In the context of
that person's life, what is the meaning of their name?
