For the end of the novel I was a little disappointed. As we discussed in class, the name “Struggle” didn’t really impress me what so ever. I liked the way he presented it, but the name wasn’t so great. When I first read the name of the town I immediately thought about the founding of [...]

Apex Hides the Hurt (2)

This book is out there I must say, but it really has me tuned in and interested. The folks on “my end” of the table today in class were discussing how Whitehead introduces something, but doesn’t quite give enough information to really draw them in. I feel like that isn’t really the case [...]

I think I really enjoy reading this book. There are a lot of little things that can mean so much; I’m constantly thinking about what the narrator is really trying to say. A few things that really interested me after class yesterday were the unnamed narrator and his race, the history of the [...]
Research Paper Rambling

So after our mid-term evaluations I realized how much I focused on form in many of my posts. Along with form, Hutcheon seemed to be the one theorists that stuck with me most so I’m trying really hard to pull everything together. I know I’m leaning more towards Fight Club because that was [...]

First let me begin with summing up how I felt about Powers and this book by the end. This wonderful clip from Family Guy just really did it for me:
So to really talk about the end of this novel. What stuck with me most was the twist on the “real” [...]

So since all I can do is write about things that suddenly pop out at me as interesting in this book I’m going to do just that. After yesterday class, I was really thinking about Lentz and Audrey. We were talking about how Lentz was talking about Audrey to Powers right in front [...]

So while I’m sure this book will probably have a really interesting spin, or so I hope, I must say I’m still way too confused to write something interesting or creative about it as of now. What I will try to focus on are some of the underlying things I found fascinating.
First I’m going to [...]
Brian McHale- Postmodernist Fiction
Posted in Postmodernism on October 22, 2007 | 3 Comments »
This is based on Chapter 1, entitled, “From Modernist to Postmodernist Fiction: Change of Dominant” of the book:
McHale, Brian. Postmodernist Fiction. London: Routledge, 2001.
McHale begins by giving us the opinions of a few other authors on how they feel towards postmodernism. He quotes John Barth, a familiar face, as saying of postmodernism that the [...]

To get a good look at the author/character of this novel, Richard Powers himself (which by the way reminds me of an old soap opera shot!)! So this novel is really interesting…I don’t even know where to begin with this because I had to reread the first 48 pages just to gain a basic understanding [...]
Nikki Lee

After yesterdays class and our discussion of Nikki Lee I can’t help but focus on the subject object aspect of her photos we were discussing. To focus on one photo in particular the Hispanic Project photo,
I found it difficult to tell the difference between the subject and object. I feel as thought [...]
