You are my online literature professor ..:). It's better to do the summary of all four classes in one weekly post. I can't see myself writing poetry and I don't really knwo how to appreciate it, so that's what I skip. But it's great theat your four classes cover four different categories. Most interesting for me is the YA literature class and it's interesting to read about the assumptiosn underlying this category. Like you said, I doubt that teens become violent after reading violent boosk like the HUnger Games. Teens are smart enough to know that it's fiction to take them to another world and to entertain them while reading. Ther are also interesting observations in your summary of fiction and creative nonfiction writing. Really, Bonnee, thanks for the summary.

I think I'll stick with the Saturday Summary for now and see how things go, but I'm glad to know you won't condemn me if I decide otherwise.

Plenty of fun! <br /><br />I said I was a blackberry stain around the mouth. There were a few coffee stains and wine stains in various places and a few other things I probably wouldn't have thought of immediately. <br /><br />I'm loving it! Thanks for visiting, Jeff!

I take it your poetry instructor jumps all over the place--must be fun trying to keep up with him. <br /><br />By the way, what kind of a stain are you? I'd say coffee for me.<br /><br />I hope you're enjoying yourself so far.JeffOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07947660745120963286noreply@blogger.com
