For this half of the semester I have been keeping a
handwritten journal that includes details from the readings and my thoughts on
them. I have tried to find connections between the novels and Havel, focusing
on characters in the novel who were either living in the lie or living the
truth. There have been many instances where I have been able to make these
connections.
As I have gotten the hang of the blog, my posts have been
more articulate. I’ve gotten better at editing my personal journal entries to
make them more coherent to the readers. The comments Bill left on my first few posts
made me realize that I needed to explain my thoughts because on the blog I am “talking”
to someone else, who doesn’t know exactly what is going on in my mind. Hopefully the posts keep getting better: more thought out, articulated clearly, and interesting connections and conclusions from the readings.
These thoughts are perfectly clear! And it is also clear from the progression of your blog that more and more is coming into focus, the more your read and the more you write. I hope you take it all the way to the end.
