I haven’t done a blog update for awhile, but the class has definitely had some good insight in the past few days and weeks about the short stories we’ve discussed:
- H20Beachbum wonders about the cause of the narrator’s unhappiness in Sonny’s Blues;
- Amy explores the idea of Sonny’s suffering and his response;
- Chris asks whether or not we are just making things up when we interpret literature;
- Shauna looks at the positive portrayal of human endurance in Tillie Olson’s work;
- Haley gets the title wrong
- LHartley discusses the role of religion and faith in The Handsomest Drowned Man.
