Well hello there, old friend! The blog is back. For this post, please: 1) Read Chapter 4 and choose a passage that stands out to you/intrigues you/confuses you. Type up the passage, in its entirety, and cite it. 2) Then, either: - Ask a question and work through your confusion in a thorough response. Call on your classmates to also engage with this passage and unpack it together. OR-- - Look at specific language/literary devices/tools and write a response in which you examine the EFFECT of these devices. What do these observations that you've made DO for the novel?
Some reminders: - Make sure that you BOTH create your own comment and also respond to a classmate's comment. - Sign in using your full name so that your first and last name appear next to your comment. - Make sure that you comment under your band - Don't repeat classmates' passages. If someone has already used yours, then respond to it directly and choose another. There's plenty to discuss. - Your comment should be at least 5-7 sentences or longer. Your reply to a classmate should be a thorough reply that pushes the conversation forward by asking follow-up questions and/or making connections to other parts of novel or other works. The use of textual evidence in a response is a great way to keep the conversation going! - Please use appropriate grammar/punctuation. This is NOT a text message. - Blog posts are due by 10pm the night before class. Let's get this done at a more reasonable hour, people!
