Lit Circle 2 25/02/11

Discussion consisted of the group activity and planning for the next lit circle, prior reading needed in order to keep pace with the group mates. Group activity was about how the setting influences how a person understands the word. The words chosen were pain, conflict and darkness, setting examples shared between the group mates but the explanation was self done.
