The first assignment was to find passages that reflected Capt. Amasa Delano's values and, in general, his ideology -- how he thinks -- that led him to so misunderstand what was really happening on the San Dominick.
This second assignment is to find passages that show how the slaves, in revolt, planned their revolt and how to deceive others about it. That is, to find precisely those indications of the slaves' bravery, cleverness, and dedication to freedom at any cost which Delano implicitly thinks are so foreign to "blacks."
Pick six passsages between pages 1 and 53, not beyond page 53.
Identify them by page number and column in the PDF version, so we can all find them.
Discuss them in an essay of 300 words.
Do not count, as part of these 300 words, the quotations you choose to type out in your assignment, but count only your own words.
Email to your group and to me.
Bring this assignment of yours and the text of Benito Cereno to class with you. Also, bring your first assignment -- the 4 sentences, from different parts of the story -- to class with you too.
