In Chatman's terminology, Home Land is obviously a heavily filtered novel; we see all of the events through Lewis's eyes, and he relates everything to us in a heavily guarded, largely ironic narrative voice. While nearly all of the novel is rendered in Lewis's highly sarcastic style, there are moments when his shield drops and the character's deeply-held beliefs and values are revealed.
Work with your group members to identify two such passages. Note both what aspect of Lewis's real or innermost character is revealed by the passage, and explain how you know that Lewis is being sincere rather than ironic, using specific evidence from the text to support your contention. Write your answers in your group's Google Doc.
