Well I'll be darned. I think I have enough coverage, depth, analysis, commenting and discussion to last me for the next two portfolios this semester. Of course, Dr. Jerz isn't going to agree with me, but its worth a shot, hey?
Le Cover Entry here, is for all intents and purposes, no more than a class assignment, so if there are any visitors lurking out there who read me and I don't know about, y'all are welcome to leave as many comments as you desire. It gets me extra credits. Be forewarned, my Italian and French are truly as horrible as they appear on your pixelated screen. I hope you enjoy the ride.
Coverage, Depth, Interaction, Discussion & Timeliness
I've decided to file all my entries under one common umbrella because, strangely enough, all my entries reflect all above categories. Besides, senseless overlapping makes no sense to me, and since we're printing out the portfolio, I'll do my best to conserve paper.
Young Goodman Brown - Searching for the true meaning of a text might as well be akin to searching for the true meaning of life. But there's nothing wrong with trying, is there? Buddha tried too.
Did Hester Sin Alone? - The change in an individual's life is never the result of a single determining factor. Or is it?
Swan Song - How long does it take to finish a novel, for gosh sakes? My little outburst against perpetual character analysis.
The Custom-House - How does literature reflect or affect changing times? I'm in love with Hawthorne.
To Leave or Not to Leave? - And then there's Communism that says capitalists do not have the right to treat their employees like sweat shop workers. I agree.
The Yellow Wallpaper - I'm really confused as far as this story goes. Just goes to show that it really doesn't matter how the story ends or the character develops. The fact is that it did.

Wildcard Entry/Link
This is not really an entry, but since its a wildcard, I'd like to link to a piece of mine that I'm really proud of and happy about. This is a story that I'll live to tell me grandchildren about, but first I'll make them read his books. My little visit to see Salman Rushdie, the writer of writers.
Posted by NehaBawa at September 28, 2005 04:30 PM | TrackBackPlease excuse this roundabout way of contact. I copied a photo that I believe was posted on your website last year. The photo was of a woman and child, in India I believe, among a number of candles arranged in a traditional swastika pattern. I am part of a documentary, and we are considering using the photo, but we would like to contact whoever has rights to it for permission.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
I know the photograph you're talking about. I credited BBC, so you'll have to contact them.
