Comment on these blogs!

• Alisha's post this week has a piece with a fascinating variety of subject-verb variations.
• Anthony's blog contains the reading of "The Rocking Horse Winner" discussed in class, as tacitly placing responsibility on the character of the mother.
• Asha's comments on Joyce are a study in how a skilled author directs the emphasis in specific ways for specific reasons.
• Clay's restless blog quotes Ashbery, has a music video, and a quote on a similar theme to Baldwin's "Stranger." Not to be missed.
• My favorite post this week from Drew's dense, graphics-heavy blog: Vonnegut's surprisingly sensible rules for short story writers.
• Erin's insightful and thorough posts are all worthwhile; her Baldwin comments will be a good way to start our conversation tomorrow.
• James's Freudian reading of Lawrence was a highlight of our discussion. Check out his informal and engaging posts.
• It wouldn't be a bad idea to read Julio's talky & energetic posts for every class. He nails Didion.
• For a careful reading of The Bell Jar chapter 10 that doesn't focus on Plath as a personality, go to Lucina's blog.
• "Baldwin's point is not a pleasant one. So his sentences have to be unassailable," Miranda writes.
• Sam sees connections no one else would have noticed: Didion with Plath; Plath with Hemingway; Orwell with the New School Free Press.
  
• Sara Beth's rich reading of Baldwin outlines the structure of the piece, moving from quiet to explicit rage.
