Hi class,

I just want to encourage you, in your blog posts/comments/essays, to keep practicing the art of interpreting literary elements.  There’s three weeks left, and it would be easy to do the easy thing and write responses that mainly restate information about characters, events, customs, etc.  Remember, though, that if you write a whole blog/comment/paper without mentioning any literary analysis terms/ideas (first person narration?  Dynamic character?  Setting as reflection of inner psychology?), you’re missing a pretty important piece.

Godspeed,

Professor Kwong
