From the Blogs…

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 , but offers good insights about I Stand Here Ironing; while
• LHartley discusses the role of religion and faith in The Handsomest Drowned Man.
