Just finished reviewing your blogs, and wanted to comment on a few that stood out as good examples of what works in the posts. Remember, while I don't expect you to write a novel or anything, I am looking for a certain level of depth and engagement with the text. A good example of this is Kevin's post for this week (BigKev, 04) on "Go, Down Moses." Tina (04) also offers in-depth analysis this week, as well as graphics and links. Lisa (05) makes a good connection between Porter and Faulkner and reiterates an excellent point raised by Tenesha (05) in a recent class (regarding whether or not an author can depict another race or gender accurately and fairly). Finally, Rae (Down to Earth, too 04) also makes a fascinating critique of Faulkner's depictions of women, which reflects a unique take on the text. All of these examples build on class discussion but offer new ideas that take our conversation in different directions.
