She is finding things that I don't know what I would find or not seeing as I haven't even read... Tiffany Brattina 2007-05-03T19:42:42-05:00 http://blogs.setonhill.edu/TiffanyBrattina/021058.html Ok...I tried to make a fun title. Guess it didn't work very well. Education has alwasy been a huge part of my life. I have found over the last four years that I am always trying to find a way... Tiffany Brattina 2007-05-02T18:18:46-05:00 http://blogs.setonhill.edu/TiffanyBrattina/021024.html As the semester is wrapping up I thought to myself, "I wonder which of these theories I will use most when I am teaching?" I liked the question so much that I decided to pose it to the rest of... Tiffany Brattina 2007-04-30T21:59:31-05:00 http://blogs.setonhill.edu/TiffanyBrattina/021007.html At this moment in a mere two weeks I will officially be a college graduate. I never thought that this day would come, even as it advanced closer and closer. This semester has been so full of changes in me... Tiffany Brattina 2007-04-28T21:51:04-05:00 http://blogs.setonhill.edu/TiffanyBrattina/021006.html Well, with Portfolio III looming I have decided to take up the role as hostess. I wanted to do something with education and after a conversation with Lorin have decided to pose you all a few questions. With all of... Tiffany Brattina 2007-04-28T21:09:03-05:00 http://blogs.setonhill.edu/TiffanyBrattina/021005.html I figured that tonight I would take a break from all of the paper writing and reflect back on what I have been doing for this particular paper in the class at this moment. Right now, I'm very frustrated with... Tiffany Brattina 2007-04-28T20:33:34-05:00 http://blogs.setonhill.edu/TiffanyBrattina/021004.html Well, on April 19, 2007, my literary criticism class took lit crit to a whole new level. Everything from skits on "A Streetcar Named Desire" to a website on Disney's "Sleeping Beauty" and lots in between. The applications on the... Tiffany Brattina 2007-04-28T19:18:25-05:00 http://blogs.setonhill.edu/TiffanyBrattina/020973.html Finally, a critic that just comes out and says it. When looking at the historical background of Keats' "Ode on a Grecian Urn" no one can say what urn Keats is talking about! Scholars interested in more culturally prestigious sources... Tiffany Brattina 2007-04-23T19:09:54-05:00 http://blogs.setonhill.edu/TiffanyBrattina/020970.html Just when I thought I had the hang of a cultural approach everything is blown out of the water. I understand where they are coming from when they say that The Tempest is just trying to show another way of... Tiffany Brattina 2007-04-23T16:20:09-05:00 http://blogs.setonhill.edu/TiffanyBrattina/020908.html Ok....Little story first. I didn't know that we had to do this until like, well now. Harry Potter is a character that sits near and dear to both Valerie and myself so we chose to do our term project on... Tiffany Brattina 2007-04-19T16:13:44-05:00 http://blogs.setonhill.edu/TiffanyBrattina/020895.html Let me start off by saying that since I read the Greenblatt essay first, this essay confused me completely. There were times when I was reading this article that I was able to pick up on the connections that Belsey... Tiffany Brattina 2007-04-19T11:39:18-05:00 http://blogs.setonhill.edu/TiffanyBrattina/020860.html Of any of the articles, Greenblatt seems to have described the theory behind Culture in precise details. I think that it helped that I have had some background in Shakespeare and with Spenser, but that aside I think that he... Tiffany Brattina 2007-04-17T15:54:04-05:00 http://blogs.setonhill.edu/TiffanyBrattina/020792.html OK. I have tried to be good and keep my commenting on Harry Potter to the minimum because I know peoples feelings on it in this class. I also know that Valerie and I are working on this for our... Tiffany Brattina 2007-04-14T19:18:24-05:00 http://blogs.setonhill.edu/TiffanyBrattina/020703.html So. Marx deserves some credit for literary criticism. Who knew? Obviously Keesy, but that is neither here nor there. I enjoyed reading about Marx's idea that style isn't everything. The author needs to keep in mind that the time period...

(Too bad mother nature won't cooperate outside.) All semester I have been struggling with concepts in this class and history is a concept that I can do... Tiffany Brattina 2007-04-10T02:07:21-05:00
