Last time in class I wish I had....

     Last time in class if I were to talk about something it would have been the reference to Sciron in chapter 8. Urfe talks about not feeling his age, but finding no solace in the older. He describes himself as a mid-air man. He's stuck in the air. The woman he loves, or loved, has abandoned him and he is stuck on a desolate island where he has nothing else to do either than feel completely alone. I would have gone into the fact that this personal isolation seems to carry through and manifests itself in different characters as the book progresses.
