Major themes in Alistair MacLeod's No Great Mischief

Instead of requiring you to write individual blog responses this week, we'll instead be hearing from you via the group work that you did today.

In the comments section below, each of the groups will post a brief summary of their discussion of the major themes in the novel, as well as the major theme or motif you decided to explore in more detail. Include for us, with page numbers, a description of three scenes that you thought were crucial to the development of that theme in the novel.

We'll work from your lists here over the coming days as we explore some of these themes in greater detail. I enjoyed catching up with most of your groups today and thought you all were doing a fine job. See you on Friday!
