To start class today, we began by looking for 3 paragraphs of regular plot, 3 paragraphs of style, and three moments that seem insignificant, but are actually quite important.
Here are the moments that the class came up with:
- p. 287-288: Moment of plot: Letter received from Superman's comic book publisher accuses Kavalier and Clay of copyright infringment
- p. 208: Moment of style: Descriptive moment talking about inter-twined paths and how it all fits into the story of K&C
- p. 262: Moment of desperation wanting brother back
- p. 255: Sammy is struggling with sexuality when he feels pang of jealousy when seeing Joe and Rosa
- p. 216: talking about escapist and its importance to K&C
- p. 275: Moment of plot: Joe creates hero, Luna Moth because of his feelings for Rosa.
- p. 253: Moment of plot: Joe and Rosa share a moment with an instant connection. They have their own made up dream language that only they can understand because of their connection.
- Sammy see this and also have this connection through language, and now Joe and Rosa have one now and Sammy and Joe's relationship
- Right before the kiss, "moths scattered"
- Moth = Death, decay
- Foreshadowing the decay of the relationship between Sam and Joe
- p. 178-179: Moment of hyperbolic description when the Escapist is trapped. Important line: "His (Joe's) sense of bureaucracy, of being powerless to help or free his family..."
- Joe has repeatedly tried to free his family from Prague by going to the consulate but is blocked by "red tape"
