Getting Started

Although I think I have picked a great topic of literature, I have been uncertain as to how to begin my blog.  I am sitting in the LRC building with Mrs. S at this moment and with her help, I am certain that I will be blogging in no time!

  1. You are here, Jwana! It was fun working on your blog this morning in the LRC. I am excited about reading your posts. You have selected a great topic, and I am sure you will add some wonderful insights. Have a great time blogging.

  2. I think you chose an excellent theme for your blog. I am looking forward to hearing your perspective on different writers. If you haven't already, I recommend Langston Hughes. We read him last semester, and I was blown away by his poems!

    “I, too, sing America.

    I am the darker brother.
    They send me to eat in the kitchen
    When company comes,
    But I laugh,
    And eat well,
    And grow strong.

    Tomorrow,
    I'll be at the table
    When company comes.
    Nobody'll dare
    Say to me,
    "Eat in the kitchen,"
    Then.

    Besides,
    They'll see how beautiful I am
    And be ashamed--

    I, too, am America.”


    (I tried posting this last week. I see you mentioned him in a later post. Darn computers!)
