Video Game Culture and Theory (J-Term 2010)
It is an online J-term course, so you can take it from anywhere where there’s internet access - you don’t have to be at SHU during J-Term. In the last decade, a growing number of scholars have noticed the importance of video games to modern culture, as a form of story telling,... ... (271 more words, 0 comments)

Haiman, Best Practices for Newspaper Journalists   Something seems amiss in the fact that there are legal repercussions for bad drivers but not bad reporters; however, conditions of First Amendment rights are extremely complex when it comes to... ...

Woahhhhh Easy, Browning!
"Three times her little throat around, And strangled her. No pain felt she;" Okay this poem was so incredibly dramatic! I was thrown off half way through when he... oh yeah KILLS HER! At first I thought this was going to be a romantic poem and it turned out to... ... (55 more words, 2 comments)

Porphryria's Lover
     I found this poem to be incredibly meaningful.  Well obviously, because its about love and feelings which is all very significant.  When reading this, it wasnt difficult to hold on to or to grasp like other poems from the 1800s.  Often times I find myself struggling with trying to... ...

THE CRIMSON
After looking through the site, what I liked most were the photographs and videos. they help to tell stories that would be super lame in print, such as, Cambridge is pretty in the fall. Instead, there are pictures that prove to me that Cambridge is pretty in the fall. http://www.thecrimson.com/gallery/2009/11/19/autumn-cambridge-photoessay/... ... (41 more words, 0 comments)

Well... That was Unexpected
Robert Browning's poem "Porphyria's Lover" "In one long yellow string I woundThree times her little throat aroundAnd strangled her. No pain felt she;" (lines 39-41) Was anyone else totally got by surprise when this happened? I was. This is the turning point in the poem (which Roberts may have already... ...

It's Getting Cold Outside
So put on all your clothes. I much prefer The Cavalier Daily's website to Harvard's or Seton Hill's. The three pictures are really attractive to the eye. There is a lot of white space, but that is ok with me. I'd rather there be white space than overcrowding with text.... ... (106 more words, 0 comments)

Ch. 13 of Writing About Literature. "Poets invite us to change speeds while reading--to slow down and linger over some words and sounds and to pass rapidly over others" (185).

Application
I'm not going to bash The Harvard Crimson especially since they have a better website than we do.

Roberts Got It Wrong: Vowel Sounds and the English Language
EL237 Okay, it's late, and honestly, I was just going to read the chapter (13 in Roberts), and blog about it later. However, one thing in it annoyed me enough that I really gotta blog right now (Expect the bags under my eyes to be a shade darker than usual... ... (369 more words, 0 comments)
