Interview With the Vampire

THE TIME IS NOW...

The book takes place in a dark room where a professional journalist interveiws a vampire and he tells of his life and all the things that have happened to him in his turbulent life.

I think we should read this book because its intellectually stimulating.

=APPROVED=


 * Week 1 - Characters:**

A - Jeff B - Mike C -dan lee D - Joe

Discussion Questions:

Meeting Notes: We discussed about vampires and the brief summary of the book. We had some discussion that wasn't related to the book, but we still talked about who was the vampire and who was the main character... We also talked about the thickness of the book. OUr group had nice discussion. We will be more prepared next week so we can discuss more in-depth. this meeting gave us a brief information of what this book will be like.

Week 2 - Language A - Jeff (epic fail) B - Mike C - Joe D - Dan

Discussion Questions: 1. Why are the quotes that the author uses important to the book? 2. Why are comparisons of two things that are unrelated important to the symbolism in the book? 3. Descriptive language is used in the book, how is this helpful to the plot? 4. How does the author make the language authentic to the time period?

Meeting Notes: Today, our group discussed about summary of the book and the first part of the book. Topic question we talked about was, " Why did vampire have an interview with a boy?" There were various answer to this question because the book didn't mention why the vampire was having an interview.. We all made an educated guess to answer that question. We also had a conversation about golf gloves, sunglasses, and Maple Story.

Week 3

A- Jeff B- Joe (absent) C- Mike D- Dan Leee

Discussion

The use of symbols in the book is very evident. There are symbols relating to crosses and other anti vampiric things. However, there are some symbols that are things strange, such as the girl being locked in a coffin.

Summary of the Day

Today we had a discussion about al the strange symbols that are abundant in the book. It was odd the number of them that we actually found in the book. As i said in the discussion above there where the obvious ones and the ones that required a little bit of digging to find. When we weren't working we where making fun of Jeff's "eye lag".

Week 4

A - Dan B - Joe C- Jeff D - Mike

Question: 1. What symbols are used in this book? 2. In the beginning of the book,vampire interviewed with a boy. Why did boy interview the vampire? 3. Foreshadow is used in this book. Why did the author use foreshadowing in the story? 4. What do vampire and human have in common?

Summary of Everything

All in all we agreed that the book was very good, however some of us thought that they put stress on things that where not needed and thus the book could have been shorter. The others didn't think that anything should be changed in the book and it was excellent as it was. I would recommend this to anyone who like vampire novels or anyone who likes horror novels.
