MR. BARTON WILL BE VIRGIL TO YOUR DANTE

 

A memorable quest! Mr. Barton will guide your child and a friend through the divine comedy of South Brooklyn. The day begins with a homemade Russian lunch in Brighton Beach, the journey's starting point. You will then venture westward down the boardwalk with a simultaneous translation of and commentary on the local scene. When you have traveled half way, you will pass the Cyclone and the Himalaya and descend into Dante's Inferno, Astropark's long surviving spook-house. Next you will climb the stairs to the purgatorial Coney Island Side Show, where Insectavora and the Inflatable Boy will lead us to contemplate life's strangeness with their Dantescan acts of endurance. The day concludes with an ascension to the spheres on the Wonder Wheel and an unfortunate but obligatory return to earth and home.

At the end of the day, the participating students will receive one all-beef Nathan's Famous hotdog in natural casing and an English translation of the Inferno with the Italian text en face. Itinerary depends on schedule, weather, availability and appetite of students.
