What does Rushdie want us to believe?  Page 72 – The concept of stories. What is Rushdie saying about stories and story telling? Chapter 5 – Discuss the concept of the ‘Old Zone’. Relate this literal place to our figurative view of stories (p. 86) Chapter 6 – How is Princess Batcheat described? How does this relate to the meaning of her name in the back of the book?

We will talk about this idea MUCH more on Friday!
