Welcome!
Hello... You've found your way to the class blog of a typical--but brilliant--first year English composition class in the Midwest. We are experimenting with the blogging genre and its implications in our writing progress. We have chosen to keep our identities secret, but you will be reading the words of authors from a diverse range of interests and backgrounds. Some of our posts will reflect on class assignments and/or material; others may be completely unrelated to school. Enjoy our posts and feel free to comment, remembering that we are real people.

great post!
Well hello there, my name is Bobby Light. I am speaking for my group who include Mark Twain, the infamous Charlie Murphy, and Kicklor 14. We are going to be commenting on the short essay called "In Our Glory" by Bell Hooks. Overall the essay was the better of the 3, it was very detailed and thorough, while still including interesting characteristics of the father's picture. One explanatory line that i liked was when she stated "his dark skin mingling w/ the shadows in the photograph." Its cool how the author pickes up every and any aspect of her fathers picture and gives it a reason or meaning behind it. For example when she states "there is such boldness, such feirce openess in the way he faces the camera". Another question we had was why she choose to tell us that her sister is a lesbian? All in all this was a very intresting essay, and an intising read.
