Portfolio 1 - Learning to Bog and look beyond what is in front of us.

This blog entry is to show what I have been able to post in response to my on reflections as well as others in the literature that we are reading in American Literature 1915-Present EL267.  But not without great difficulty, and still apparently I am still having some troubles.  It is not due to lack of trying, because God only knows I am trying, but here is the best I can do.  This class has opened many new ideas, blogging for one, which as most see I am still struggling with, learning how to close read as well as to understand how textual evidence over the faith and emotional responses is the key.  Trying to put something into a thesis as a non-obvious versus obvious is also been quite a challenge.  I am including my dates if the trackbacks do not work, I apologize, but I am trying and that is all I can say.  The blogging is great but I am just having a lot of difficulty with it, giving much frustration at times for myself.
