Week 10 Blog Post 1

This course has offered some very insightful strategies for reading and digesting literature.  Of all the works that we read/studied during this course, I have to say Tim O'Brien's "The Things They Carried," was the most interesting.  Maybe its because I did my semester paper on this story, but regardless I have to say this story impacted me the most because it really gave me a glimpse into the emotional and physical burdens experienced by American servicemen in Vietnam.  By applying some of the strategies that I learned from this course I really was able to gain a deeper appreciation for this story and the works I read in the future.

    Hi Rod,
    I too have learned many insightful strategies for reading and digesting literature. I hope to continue using these new found skills with readings I may encounter in the future.

    I believe my favorite reading this semester was the play write "Fences", but Tim O'Brien's "The Things They Carries" was not far behind.
