Continuation of "This is What It Means to Say Phoenix, Arizona" Conversation

First, for those of you who noticed I apologize for not announcing anything about the literary theory presentations. I've changed the schedule to start the series on Wednesday, so the first group has an extra day to prepare.

As for the discussion of "This Is What it Mean...," please comment on the influence of the reservation on Victor and Thomas. Be as specific as possible with textual evidence.

Questions and Answers on "A & P"

Please post one question about "A & P" and answer one question.

Two additional questions about "A Rose for Emily"

When did you realize that the story was going to end the way that it did? How do you respond to the ending?

Thirteen Ways of Looking...

Wallace Stevens' "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird" helped us to start the class. We talked about reader response, investigating likes and dislikes, and asking questions. By the way, Haddam is in Connecticutt, not New Jersey. Feel free to add any additional comments to the discussion.
