"Sleep comes like a drug
In God's Country,
Sad eyes, crooked crosses,
In God's Country" (Joshua Tree)

Our Whisky Priest lands himself in jail on the wrong charges and finally embraces humanity in all its degredations and sinfulness. We begin working on our photo essay as we piece together the various themes, motifs, and symbols which define Greene's journey into Mexico. Now that we have examined photography, we turn our ears and eyes towards music. Students will delve into the musical highways of U2, focusing on their work for The Joshua Tree and their documentary Rattle and Hum. Again, comparisons will be drawn between the two artists, and students will be challenged to find connections above and beyond mere words.

The Whisky Priest moves deeper into the wild this week as he gets closer to the turning point in this cat and mouse game he is playing with the Lieutenant. As we follow him up and down the mountain, he nears arrest and jail time. Look to Greene's invocation of landscape to reveal the WP's character development and inner stirrings of his soul. Will jail provide the reality check he needs on his journey to freedom? Will he find his humanity there? Or will he leave in his perpetual depravity?

February 8 - February 12

The Mexican landscapes continues to simmer in brokenness. The Whisky Priest meets his Judas and attempts to escape the Lieutenant and his men who are hunting him. Soon, he will have to make decisions about his life and death, and examine what sacrifices are worth his escape and freedom. At the heart of the text, as evident in all characters and in every panorama, God is needed; redemption is necessary for rebirth.
