Here is the link to a shared final project with Salome.
After doing the project, I
1. Will be glad to never read about incest again.
2. Have a new found respect for the intricate details in which Faulkner layers his stories.
3. Look forward to reading more Faulkner novels in the distant future.
I can honestly say I enjoyed the class, and discussing his works. But this is a side to American Literature that I have not loved yet, like I normally would. Faulkner seemed, to me, arrogant and writing to be smarter than the reader, writing to confuse. Which, I don't entirely mind, if it's your thing, but it all seemed narcisstic to me. Though, I can now say that one of my favorite short stories is now one of Faulkner's. I loved Pantaloon In Black. It is probably one of the only works I thoroughly enjoyed. The rest I liked because of the commentary that it created, not because of the actual content or writing. I'm hoping that appreciation for such things will come with age, since I went to be just like Andrews when I grow up. Haha. :P
I used an emoticon in my last blog. Cool.
Well :P to you, too, Sonia. :)
