Directions: In the appropriate conference on our
WebBoard, make three separate posts on something from this
section or the whole novel that you would like to discuss.
Again, I'm leaving things a little freeform this week, only with a few
additional instructions.
- In addition to discussing things from this section, consider
discussing things from the novel as a whole. For example,
how does Elaine's art function throughout the novel to
illustrate themes, coming to a culmination in the final section?
How does the legacy of Elaine's childhood follow her through her
life? What about the men in the book? How do they
function?
- While you're welcome to post about something that's
interesting you and catching your eye, you need to go beyond
"like" and "don't like." Things like, "I'm really interested in
the glimpses we're getting of Cordelia's home life. It seems to
me that..." are analytical and literary. "God, this book is so
boring" is not.
- You'll want to think about the different types of things
we've discussed so far: themes, character development,
symbolism, narrative technique, etc.
- Be sure to post at least five sentences.
