The Tortilla Curtain: The use of questions to the class kept the presentation interesting and interactive. The structure was explicit and well-organized; it was clear for me to see what was happening and what was going to happen next. I especially appreciated the comparison to The Glass Castle and Detroit. Overall, this was a thorough job and shows significant effort.
This blog is an interactive place where you can share your writing with your classmates. The blog creates a great place for writing because it can easily be seen by other students in our class, and you can respond to your classmates' work, taking their ideas further. The blog format is meant to be less formal and more creative than the academic essays you write in class. This is where you can explore your voice as a writer, and take some risks with your style and ideas. Happy blogging!

Lone Ranger and Tonto / Tortilla Curtain
The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven: I liked how the presenters involved their personal opinions and relationships to the story. The symbolic analyses were insightful and engaging, and the presentation made good use of quotes and incorporated excellent choices of videos. It made me want to read this book! There are not many things that make me want to read a book.
