Just a friendly remider to fill out your course evaluation for our section! It's quick and easy and we'll all get some extra credit if we all do it!

[Adam Coombs @akcoombsL204]

@AFrisinger25 Fitzgerald’s This Side of Paradise and The Beautiful and the Damned are good ones, and Nella Larsen’s Passing provides an alternative take

[Adam Coombs @akcoombsL204]

And here’s a link to some of the featured courses for next semester. I’ll try to remember to bring some of our postcards to the final in case anyone is interested: https://t.co/P29ae7DNcV https://t.co/yjgb2jxU4K

@zareenh I agree, there is so much creativity in our class. Maybe some of these bio majors should add another major 😏 #L204Discussion

[Adam Coombs @akcoombsL204]

@BreezieErvin And specific genres or themes you might want to check out?

[Adam Coombs @akcoombsL204]

@EthanCarpL204 You might also like Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying, but takes some getting time to get used to the story and writing style

[Adam Coombs @akcoombsL204]

@sarrudzi_sarah Michael Chabon’s Yiddish Policeman’s Union is great and I’ve heard good things about Walter Mosley’s novels.

[Adam Coombs @akcoombsL204]

@BreezieErvin The final will be slightly longer, an extra two short answers and one close reading, but you’ve also got two hours to complete it

[Adam Coombs @akcoombsL204]

@IUtclawren And appropriate given our focus on adaptation, especially film adaptation, this semester.

[Adam Coombs @akcoombsL204]

Which was your favorite long reading from the semester? #L204discussion

[Adam Coombs @akcoombsL204]

@BreezieErvin This might be a problem with getting used to the kind of reading required for a comic where you have to piece together some of the action/story that occurs between panels, which you might otherwise skip over or not notice

[Adam Coombs @akcoombsL204]

@wstatzL204 This is really at the heart of the experience of reading a comic, you've got interesting visuals and text that you're trying to understand at the same time. Hopefully this was an interesting experience nonetheless

[Adam Coombs @akcoombsL204]

@beef_supreme_75 If you're interested, I believe Shuri's storyline is covered more in the Reginald Hudlin series, from 2005/6. It began with the issue "Who is the Black Panther" we read for Monday.

[Adam Coombs @akcoombsL204]

@beef_supreme_75 It is nice to have some context when reading a character whose story has been rebooted several times, though Stan Lee's writing is definitely dated.

[Adam Coombs @akcoombsL204]

@qgrossma What do you think might be the intention of that design? What might it represent about his character?

[Adam Coombs @akcoombsL204]

@L204Evan Just keep in mind that this was one episode of a much longer auto-biography, so it doesn't necessarily follow the traditional plot of a novel.

[Adam Coombs @akcoombsL204]

@EthanCarpL204 Sounds like an interesting job.

[Adam Coombs @akcoombsL204]

@samkrausIU Interesting. What do you think made you think it was set in the past?

[Adam Coombs @akcoombsL204]

What kind of theme or feeling does that provide for your understanding of the novel, to this point? https://t.co/yxf2JqRlqd

[Adam Coombs @akcoombsL204]

I think this is definitely going to be a major theme for the remainder of the novel. https://t.co/8mOpxFeVth
