I just wanted to share a few highlights (funny/thought-provoking/etc.) from class:
- Libby sharing a presentation on "Time-Shifty Novels" - favorite new academic term!
- Greta complaining about The Blindside and The Help as stories of "White people helping Black people portrayed as not being able to do things for themselves." Still mulling that over.
- Mr. Tyler Britton, J. Crew dandy, telling me after a discussion of The Road that during class he had been profiling classmates to determine who--in a post-apocalyptic world--would become cannibals. But don't worry, he informed that I would not be a cannibal. So relieving to here.
- Alex's response to the professor's question: "What kept you turning the pages in The Gangster We're All Looking For?" Alex [speaking for the class]: "It was assigned."
- David and Alex pulling up my blog one day during break and exclaiming, "Samara, are you engaged?!?" Wow.
- Nicole's "I'm for the empowerment of everybody" comment.
- Caitlyn describing History of Love as "beautifully sad." Perfect description.
- Wading through Faulkner together. I feel as though we all carry battle scars now.
I'm so relieved that you wouldn't be a cannibal. Whew. Why did they think you're engaged?
ReplyDeleteOh, I had a comment about feeling sorry for "my husband" in advance. That and "the rock" on my finger ;)
