The Final Episode of the “Blog Entry” Trilogy

            This portfolio is the last in a set of three, and it compiles all the blogs I have posted between April 7, 2008 to the present for Dr. Jerz’s Introduction to Literary Study class at Seton Hill University.

-Timeliness-

The following blogs were posted on time or in advance.

Busy Buzzing

Wasup?- 1 day in advance

Excuses, Excuses- 1 day in advance

Expendable Little Munchkins- 1 day in advance

-Depth-

Busy Buzzing- This example of a blank verse was actually one of my proudest accomplishments. 

Excuses, Excuses- Here I discuss scansion as presented in Hamilton pages 189-215.

Expendable Little Munchkins-  An analysis of Orson Scott Card’s Ender’s Game (chapters 1-5).

-Discussion and Interaction-

The following blog entries show an ongoing discussion between a peer and I or several peers and I on our blogs.  This section also contains blogs written by my peers that I have written extensive comments on.

I DO like green eggs and ham!- On Angela Palumbo’s blog concerning Orson Scott Card’s Ender’s Game, I made a clever prediction about the end of the story.  This comment lead to a group discussion outside of class time about what we really think Card’s motive was for writing the book.

Because man will always be tools.- Jessie Farine, Angela Palumbo, another of our classmates continued a discussion outside the blogs on how Card created this story with child soldiers who have a speaking vocabulary so unbelievably adult-like.
