Discussion prompt: How does this article differ from the one on Flannery O'Connor?
Excerpt: This academic article discusses the idea of free indirect discourse - granting the author the power of "omniscient powers of observation". The main character becomes transparent then and the author can enter the minds of other characters, as in "To...

Excerpt: I will admit; I had trouble understanding the article on Jack London's The Call of the Wild. For a few reasons: 1. There was much unexplained psychological jargon. I feel embarassed being a former psych major and not understanding a...

Excerpt: The assigned academic article on Jack London's The Call of the Wild was pretty nuts. No offense to Dr. Jerz, but I think the reader would have to be well-versed in pyschology to grasp most of the concepts it presented,...

Excerpt: Ok, I'm going with Moira and Chris here. The London article assigned was less than exciting to read. 27 pages of psychological text about The Call of the Wild? I didn't even understand some of what the author was writing...

I just noticed something weird. On the page describing this assignment the article listed is "Jack London's Enduring Appeal" by Eric Miles Williamson. The article linked on EBSCOhost, however, is the monstrous "Psychoanalyzing the Narrative Logics of Naturalism: The Call of the Wild" by Donald E. Pease. Am I missing something here???
Oops, I must've missed that one. The Pease article (the one to which the link takes you) is the one I want you to look at... the reference on this page is incorrect. Sorry about that -- I'm on my way out the door with the family. I'll fix it when I get the chance.
Posted by: Dennis G. Jerz at January 30, 2005 11:38 AMSo were we even supposed to have read this article at all? Because if I read this article for nothing...
Posted by: Vanessa at January 31, 2005 08:21 AMI offer no apologies for assigning a challenging text... I live for that kind of thing! Vanessa, if you read the wrong article, don't worry -- it's more important at this point that you read an academic artice on London than that you've read any one particular article.
Posted by: Dennis G. Jerz at January 31, 2005 08:56 AMIt's ok, I didn't expect an apology. I should “challenge myself more”.
Posted by: Vanessa at January 31, 2005 10:25 AMMy apologies for the multiple trackbacks... I was having trouble getting my entry to save correctly, and I clicked it several times, so it posted it to my blog thrice.
