Russian Triad

Breanna and Adrienne led the class in reading and discussing Chekov's "The Lady and the Dog". It was a intriguing story after the visit of Igor from Russia. We also looked at 2 poems by Pushkin.
The discussion revealed life and relationships in Russia, 100 years ago. The sentiments are the same but the outcome may be different today.

Today, divorce is not ostracized and seen as a negative aspect in life. Life goes on after a divorce.

Upcoming, Federico Garcia Lorca, the greatest poet from Spain, then the magical realists of Latin America.
