Some Musings about the Social Conditions of the First Half of the Twentieth Century

This is a blog portfolio for a class entitled American Literature from 1915-Present. We have been reading American works of literature and blogging our responses to them, and this is a collection of the blogs I have posted so far in the semester. It's been interesting to examine the way society has changed through the lens of literature.

Coverage:
These blogs about season and politics in literature as discussed in How to Read Literature Like a Professor demonstrate my ability to locate a quote from the reading and discuss it.

Timeliness:
These blogs on "After Apple Picking" and "Nothing Gold Can Stay" by Robert Frost were posted on time.

Interaction:
These blogs on The Great Gatsby, Machinal, and How to Read Literature Like a Professor generated some discussion among fellow students.

Depth:
My blogs on The Great Gatsby, How to Read Literature Like a Professor, and The Grapes of Wrath all demonstrate some of my blogging that wrestled with the readings in a deeper way than in some of my other blogs.

Discussion:
My comments on the blogs of Nathan Hart, Aja Hannah, and Carlos Peredo all demonstrate some interesting discussions I had on classmates' blogs.
