JANE EYRE - Posting Spot

7/20/2015

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte was published in 1847, and it defines the Romantic time period for us with its elaborate description, attention to nature, and dark gothic elements. I found Jane, the narrator, to be very likeable when I read it several years ago. I hope you enjoy her and the novel as well.

The idea is that this spot should be a conversation about your important and unique thoughts on the novel, so when you post, respond to what others have said and add something new to the conversation. Support your discussion with quotes from the text and discussion or analysis of those passages. Do not simply summarize the events of the novel. Remember that you must post four times. Proofread carefully because I will not approve poorly edited comments, and you will not receive credit for them. Postings for this book are due August 10. Difficulty in posting is not an excuse for lateness.

A couple of words of advice as you read this novel (in case you look at this before you’re too far in): keep a detailed list of characters that you can refer back to as you read. The Russian names can be confusing. That said, the book, though long, is well worth your time because of its suspense and its fascinating study of the human mind. Also, the book title has appeared on the AP test essay section a number of times.

ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN - Posting Spot

THE GREAT AMERICAN author Ernest Hemingway famously said, “All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn.” High praise indeed! As you read this novel, try to think beyond the controversy about Twain’s use of the n-word–-a frequent reason the book has been banned in some places–-and instead ask what the purpose and effect of the word is. More important than that, however, think about Huck’s growth as a human being in the face of extremely difficult societal obstacles for himself and his friend Jim.
