What are your initial reactions to your reading of Night?
Is is legendary? Just pretty good? Does it stink?
Why do you say so?

Lonely
We didn't quite finish our discussion of loneliness on Friday.
Therefore, I want you to weigh in on the ideas we talked about:
Can you be lonely without being alone?
How can loneliness make you serene? How about sonorous? Isn't that a paradox (a contradiction of terms)? Serene means peaceful and quiet; sonorous means resonant, loud, powerful. How can loneliness cause both?
You may respond to my questions, or respond to your classmates' answers. Please be respectful of both this forum and your classmates. Use standard English in your responses (not IM speak).
In order to post to this blog, you need to join the "blogger" world. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Click on the "# Comments" link right under the blog you wish to respond to.
2. On the page it brings up, click on the "Create a Google Account" button.
3. Fill out the required fields. Remember your name & password; I will not have them. I would like for your posting name to be your first name and last initial, so we can all be clear on who is who.
4. After you finish this, it should take you back to the place where you can respond.
5. Respond. :)
Please take this seriously.
Happy writing.

Welcome
This blog will be an interactive site, hopefully to elicit responses about literature. I want to extend "Thomasson World" outside room 114, and this is a good place to do it.
Some assignments will be posted here--things to think about, to respond to, etc.
You will, of course, use things like appropriate, Standard English and respect for your classmates when posting to this blog. I look forward to seeing whether this idea will work. Can't hurt.
Peace.
Thomasson
