Fall Blogging Portfolio 2

These blogs are a compilation of the literary texts I have read the second half of the semester. Each blog represents what I thought or felt about the text. This time I didn't wait till the last minute to do it all so they are more spread out and in depth. I have included all the entry's which i feel show my best works.

Not so "devilish" dictionary, is my brief analysis of why Bierce wrote this selection. It also links to Paul's sight which offeres a different perspective.

Huck's battle between society and himself, this is a blog entry which was also my in class presentation on Huck's battle in the book. It sparked many comments so check them out!

Native American Readings, is my interpretation of the readings in comparison of how the Native Americans viewed the White man. I also linked to both Amanda and Linda's blogs.

A Happy Ending afterall, this is another blog entry about Huck Finn, but talks about the endings and the possible mother figure relationship of Huck and Jim. Plenty of comments with new opinions!

Brer Fox and Brer Rabbit, a short assessment of the stories and their relation to Huck Finn. Has a good link to Tiffany's Blog.

John Henry or Henry John?, an interesting perspective and analysis on the legend of John Henry.

Why the color yellow?, this is probably my favorite blog entry about the Yellow Wall Paper which includes some outside sources and lots of discussion!

Edwin Arlington Robinson, analysis of two poems which I enjoyed by this author. Includes a link to Mindy's blog!

The Girl of the Golden West, a brief recap of David Belasco's melodrama and what I thought!

All I want for Christmas..., this is my "wild card" blog which is a short entry on what I want for Christmas!

I blogged several comments on other students' sites which relate to my blogs. These "xenoblogs", are found on 2 of Lindas blogs, and one on Melissa's
