Sara
Katherine

Material life (with maybe overlap to ownership/possession/letting go)

Each interest group (working together or independently) will be looking for ways of discussing and illustrating these ideas using Morrison's Song of Solomon. For example, the group looking at "flying" might want to identify key passages in the novel where people are literally or figuratively flying, or where flying is invoked as a figure of speech or metaphor for something else. This group might also want to consider some of the possible ways of thinking about flying suggested by these key passages and furthermore whether those ways of thinking agree with one another or contradict one another.
