Objective: The students will read and analyze the next chapter.
1. Finish anything from Chapter 9. It was a hard chapter. I literally watched three videos on Process Philosophy and I still don't grasp its meaning. The best that I can make of it is that everything in life is changing. Nothing is going to stay the same. I like this quote from one of the videos: "You can not step in the same river twice."
So applying that to the chapter: Grendel is changing with each new experience. He "can feel change coming." Religion has changed (they used to kill virgins), Gods change, beliefs, etc. This is represented by Ork and the younger priests.
Ork believes that god's purpose is create intense feelings of change. "Time is perpetual perishing."
Also, page 126-127 shows a man hunting a "hart" (deer) and how time (like sand in an hour glass) slows down at a crucial moment, but it can't be stopped. The deer still dies.

Allusion Notes: Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave”
· People lived chained as prisoners in a cave facing a wall.
· All that they can see are shadows of things that pass behind them.
· The shadows become the prisoners’ reality.
· One man escapes and leaves the cave. He goes into the real world and is able to “see.”
· He returns to the cave to enlighten and save the other prisoners.
· The prisoners resist being freed from the cave and their “blindness.”
· Plato uses this to suggest that people cannot escape our bondage. We prefer blindness over seeing the reality of life.
· Plato suggests that Philosophers are the “freed prisoner” and the rest of us are blind.
