Kiss of the Spider Woman, Manuel Puig Chapter One - Wait and you'll see. The thing is that one might he takes her out to that same restaurant again, which isn't first class but very quaint, with checkered tablecloths and everything in dark wood, or no, it must be stone, no, wait, now I know, inside it's like being in a log cabin, with gaslight and just candles on the tables. And he lifts up his glass of wine, his goblet, and proposes a toast...They touch goblets and drink without saying another word, just holding hands. All of a sudden she lets go of his hand: she's seen someone coming over to their table. It's a woman, beautiful-looking at first sight, but a second later you notice something really strange about her face, something frightening and yet it's hard to know what it is. Because it's a woman's face but it's also the face of a cat. The eyes slant up, and so peculiar, I don't know how to tell you, she has no whites to her eyes, her eyes are completely green in color, with black pupils at the center, and nothing else. And her skin very pale, as if she had a lot of powder on. - But you told me she was pretty. - Yes, she's beautiful. And from the strange outfit it's obvious she's European, her hair fixed in a sausage roll. - What's a sausage roll? - Like a...how can I explain it to you? A chignon...a coil of hair something like a tube that goes back around the head, over the forehead and all the way around in the back. - Doesn't mater, go on. - But come to think of it, maybe I'm wrong, I think she had more of a braid around her head, that's more like that part of the world. And a long dress down to the floor, and a fox stole over her shoulders. Discussion

The Scenario: "You were recently accused of skipping school to pig out on homemade cupcakes and binge watch Young Sheldon on Netflix. Luckily, you lawyered up and are now being prepped to undergo a lie detector test orchestrated by Big Brother. Big Brother is notorious for conducting these interviews in overheated dark cells beneath heat lamps with the unnerving drip of water surrounding you. In order to avoid the rapid heartbeats, temple sweats, and unnecessary fidgets, your lawyer would like you to prepare your answers before meeting within the pressure cooker of Big Brother."

A Tale of Two CountriesObjectives
Compare and contrast 20th Century United States and Argentina through the following lenses
Product | Visual Decade Group Poster The Age of Exploration changed the world in dramatic ways. From the European perspective, it brought two entirely new continents into existence that were ripe for conquest and exploitation. Colonization and control of the vast territories required extensive resources and logistical supply chains to keep these far away colonies in line with the governmental wishes of their parent countries, and some European countries were better “parents” than others. However, as time elapsed the human desire to be free and control one’s own destiny eventually led to revolutions throughout both the North and South American continents, and the evolution of modern nation states therein as we know them today. Thus begins our Tale of Two countries, Argentina and the United States. Each evolved out of the crucible of exploration. Both possessed abundant and varied resources which were invaluable to their parent countries. Given these similarities, one might assume that each would have matured into comparable nations, yet the did not. So, how does one explain this? Perhaps different parenting methods, influence or resistance of indigenous people, or geographical considerations that distinguish them from each other? Historians have debated the question and associated variables for decades, and it is something far bigger than we hope to accomplish with our activity. Instead, we shall embark upon the road of comparison of the two countries through the 20th Century. Starting points | U.S. History.org

The Argentina ProjectThe Argentina Project is an advanced Humanities course in which students study Kiss of the Spider Woman by Manuel Puig, a 1976 novel about two prisoners who share a cell just prior to the start of Argentina's military dictatorship and Dirty War. In this time of censorship and loss of individual rights, a dogmatic revolutionary and a gay window dresser bond over memories of loved ones and the movies. Students study the history, government, politics, and lasting effects of Argentina's military dictatorship and Dirty War. Students also consider cultural and artistic repercussions through the lens of human rights. Categories
