I thought it was pretty easy, but definitely the harder of the three. I linked it to the cyclical nature of the novel which led me into talking about a post-modern reading of the novel, I then used a symbolic reading of light and dark throughout the novel which worked perfectly with the ending, "Lights" he said, being symbolic of illuminating meaning and understanding for readers. I only wrote 5 pages but hoping for quality > quantity and hoping to beat my trial mark of 18 for this module.

hey danielle!
i think the question suited Ondaatje considering how important the ending is as it gives that, 'aha!' moment.

 

[daniellelouise]

hey danielle! .

Oh hai!

Ondaatje was not too bad. You could just talk about the cyclic nature, the coherency of it, *hint hint* textual integrity. I talked about the "lights" as enlightement, etc. and the "rear-view mirror" as a kind of self-reflexivity tool.
I was lucky though, as my teacher had gone through this scene and stressed its importance to us. (luckily I wasn't asleep when she was talking about it. )
