This is my eighth blogging portfolio--my seventh for literature courses. It was interesting looking back at these entries and comparing them (by memory, anyways) to literature entries I've written in the past. I've noticed that I seem to be focusing on smaller details within the stories much more often now than when I used to. Anyways, here's a list of all of the blogs I've posted thus far this semester.

Xenoblogging (These are comments I've left on classmates' blogs that happened to be the first comment they received.)
~"Why does Hawthorne always beat the reader over the head with meaning"--David Wilbanks's blog
~"Set Upon the Heart"--Katie Lantz's blog
~"The Truth Will Be Revealed"--Jamie Grace's blog
~"Strangeness and Familiarity"--Katie Lantz's blog
Wildcard (Though this is one of my shorter blogs, I think this is the best because it pays close attention to and examines a small detail--smaller than those in other entries.)
~"Keeping Focus"--entry for Melville's "Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall-street"
