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.

A Pinch of Salt in the Gumbo

Today, we talked about Gaines' use of local color and Regionalism to create verisimilitude in A Lesson Before Dying.  Select a passage from this novel that you think most presents this local color and helps to increase the novel's verisimilitude.  Quote that passage and tell us what in it you truly could hear or visualize.  ( The deadline to post a response is midnight, Friday, January 17, 2014.)
