JOURNAL TOPIC: [today's tunes:  "What's He Building in There?" by Tom Waits; "Halloween (Michael Myers) Theme" by John Carpenter; "This is Halloween" by Marilyn Manson]

Since it's Dia de los Muertos, two options (one for each face):
1. What role does fear (of death, of loss, of discovery) play in Hamlet? (Predict based on the fact that the first conversation is about the ghost of Hamlet's dead father.)  What role does it play in your own life and decision-making process?
2. What masks do people wear in everyday life, i.e., how/why/when do we intentionally adopt personae that serve purposes other than reflecting who we are with integrity?
3. As you think about the first tune of the day, what is it about what the storyteller DOESN'T say that creates suspense? 

AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. Self-assessment
3. Hamlet
