Somebody live, I mean. Alex Haley and Charlotte Yonge were both cool, but also departed. So first I found Viola Davis, and she is plenty cool. Yay! And now there's also the guy who is playing Thor in that new movie. I don't know how cool he is, but I am glad for him to join me and Viola Davis in reclaiming August 11.JulieKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12521424567356348282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276911630325008276.post-81114339788847069302011-04-22T13:27:04.545-05:002011-04-22T13:27:04.545-05:00Ah, once again, interesting, Emily.

You must argue from evidence, that provided in the text itself!<br /><br />But there are other theories of interpretation of literature. Reader response theory privileges what the reader brings to the text, as I understand it.<br /><br />Me, I think there are valid interpretations and some not so valid. The ones rooted in close reading of the text itself tend to impress me most.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06559881249054540947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276911630325008276.post-7797065230026302772011-04-22T13:18:56.046-05:002011-04-22T13:18:56.046-05:00Hmm.

Chris will tell you I'm pretty scientific, anyway. Glad you take something from them, in the same way you take something from reading books, which is to say, you know you can interpret *anything* from them.Emilynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276911630325008276.post-34963586088580884662011-04-22T12:09:30.609-05:002011-04-22T12:09:30.609-05:00i am troubled by The Wild Iris. and like you, i am...i am troubled by The Wild Iris. and like you, i am troubled by a number of things, so it is okay if poetry troubles me.Nancy Devinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10895934793253274506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276911630325008276.post-65624073744361992182011-04-22T11:03:20.856-05:002011-04-22T11:03:20.856-05:00You, too, Hannah!
