A collection of your informal responses to the assigned readings. Keep up with the agenda items and reflection papers for each class meeting, and this assignment will be easy and rewarding. Fall behind, and this assignment will feel... otherwise.Dr. Dennis Jerz "Portfolio 1"
I fit along the lines of the final statement: "Fall behind, and this assignment will feel... otherwise." I'm not one to label my blog entries as homework, but there comes a time when I have to prove that, indeed, it is such.
If you want proof that I read and reflected on such texts as T.S. Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock", Hamilton's Essential Literary Terms, and Foster's How to Read Literature Like a Professor, you've got it. I was even the third trackback on Schackner's "Freedom of speech redefined by blogs"!
I even looked pretty closely at Fitzgerald's "Bernice Bobs Her Hair", Forster's "The Machine Stops", and Glaspell's "Trifles".
Now it isn't all about me, yes, "A Storybook of Quotes" has my name on it, but I'd really be discouraged if people didn't notice me. Luckily for me, some people have, like when I wrote on Tim Lemire's I'm an English Major - Now What? and some of Foster's How to Read Literature Like a Professor.
The best part of blogging has to be getting out there and reading what other people have to say, just like I did for Bethany Merryman's I Love Disney! and Derek Tickle's The “Machine” Helps Run Our Lives!?. I went for first and only comment on MacKenzie Harbison's The Big Fat E Major.
And how could I forget the wonders of literary criticism . . .
