Week 10 - Responses

Leigh.

I've heard that Edgar Allen Poe is a brilliant writer. I think he would be an interesting author to read from. A couple of my authors aren't from my favorite era, its kind of visa versa. I agree with Leigh; even though the Romantic era might sound "mushy" its also real. Choosing Poe is a very smart idea because he writes different genres and that is a definite key to a multi genre study.


Brittany B.

I have never heard of Joyce Carol Oates before but she does sound really interesting. Masculine topics are great to read about, I think, because it brings out suspense and violence. Those things keep me reading. Its not just one narrative hook, but many. I agree with Brit about uncovering information about characters throughout the book. If I know everything right away, then how is the character going to develop in my mind, plus it keeps me engaged, so I'm always learning.
