Blogging Around: 3-3-2009 - A day late b/c I hate the internet

I started out replying to Mitch Hochberg's post on Best of the Week: Onion Skins. I found it interesting because I chose the same best of the week; however, Mitch had a slightly different inside and was effected in a different way as well. The underlying goal has the same purpose though, people have mamy layers, we should be tolerant of all of them.

"MITCH!
I think you should give yourself more credit; I know you atleast tolerate my many layers of being loud and annoying, and quiet and shy. However, I do like how you embrace this change by trying to be more understanding. I found it interesting how having this discussion in class had a different effect on you than when you watched shrek. The link included helped you go an extra step in connecting your concept to the reader. Good job. :]"


I also posted on Stephanie's Best of the week, the short story Boys. I loved reading this short story in class, so it was interesting to be reminded of the lessons we went over, and how she will apply them.

"Stephanie love - this is great!! I felt that you really captured some of the techniques we went over and learned in class. I loved hearing how you will encorporate this in your short story. It reminded me of all the opportunities we are presented with to apply what we learn in class. There's a point to Mr. Allen's madness!! I look forward to reading this story now. (And the way you had multiple reasons behind your best of the week was nice analysis)."
