DQ 10 - Salinger's Nine Stories - A Perfect Day for Bananafish, Uncle Wiggly in Connecticut, and The Laughing Man

July 18, 2017

Due Wednesday (DQs Tuesday night) is to begin reading J.D. Salinger's Nine Stories. The first half that we'll be covering Wednesday is: "A Perfect Day for Bananafish", "Uncle Wiggily in Connecticut," and "The Laughing Man". Destiny Day will lead discussion. I think you'll really enjoy these short stories, so please give them a thorough read.

DQ5 - 7/6/17

July 05, 2017

Hi, all. DQ 5 is on the Sigmund Freud reading, pages 1-12 and/or the reading of T.S. Eliot's Selected Poems 11-33, 38, 42, and 46. This covers the poems, "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," "Portrait of a Lady," "Preludes," "Rhapsody on a Windy Night," "Gerontion," "A Cooking Egg," "Whispers of Immortality," and "Sweeney Among the Nightingales." These readings might use some vocab words- if you find a word you're unfamiliar with, you should do a quick Google search for the word to get a definition. If you use Chrome, all you have to do is type the word into the search bar + definition. For instance, a quick search for "Gerontion" would yield the definition: little old man. Thanks for a great discussion of our readings today. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on Freud and/or Eliot.

DQ 15 - Second half of "No Man's Land" and Kevin Davies' Comp. selections

July 31, 2017

Hi all, due to a slight schedule change of our Guest Speaker coming in on Wednesday, tonight's DQs will be the second half of No Man's Land and, instead of the Stephen Watt reading as was the old plan, please read the following selections from Comp. by Kevin Davies: "Apocryphon", "Karnal Bunt", and "Untitled Poem from the First Clinton Administration". Our Guest Speaker will discuss Terrance Hayes with us on Wednesday, so please start reading How to be Drawn if you have time. There will be special instructions for the Tuesday night DQ, so please watch the blog/Bb site carefully.
