WELCOME STUDENTS!

This is a place for us to discuss openly and honestly the literature we are reading. Here we are all just communicating our thoughts on what we are reading. There are no right and wrong answers. However, you are expected to be polite, mature, and on topic.

The Journey to Manhood

We have discussed how HUCK FINN is a Bildungsroman (a work of fiction in which the main character encounters a series of events that help him to change his views and grow as a person).  A LESSON BEFORE DYING can be considered as such as well.  Select two quotes that show the progress of Grant developing into a man.  Explain how the conflict within him is changed in/through these events.  You may not post the same quotes/events as the posters prior to you.  (The deadline to post a response to this blog is midnight, Tuesday, August 20, 2013.)
