Hopper, relationships, loneliness and... Coronavirus?

Dear LLCE students,

For this week, I have decided to reestablish some form of online class so that you can all communicate with each other.

I had planned to discover Hopper's paintings with you in class, but circumstances being as they are, we'll work on this all together... online.

This is  your work for this week, then : you don't have to send me anything on Pronote or the ENT, but you have to comment (in English, duh) and discuss all together on this forum. I'll monitor and answer some of your comments.

I'll also make sure you ALL participate.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1- Take a look at the following paintings by Edward Hopper. Pick your favourite one, comment on it, justify your choice (with other arguments than I like / I don't like...). You can do some online research, but quote your sources if you do.
