"We were not in the same social class but at least we were in the same bed." What a poignant moment, comforting Mehri. #eng611 #Persepolis

The first 3 rules came from Zarathustra: Behave well, speak well, act well. (What's the difference between 1st and 3rd?) #eng611 #babysteps

@erinshimala12 Oh my goodness, when she said "Kent State Collection" I cringed. #eng611

Thought of Burgess' A Clockwork Orange when I began reading (in terms of altogether new slang. NE1 else? Just me? Is this thing on?) #eng611

Violet's Bucket List. Not gonna lie, I got a little teary-eyed...#4: I want to sit with you in a place where I can't hear engines. #eng611

P.55: "Dude, this is some way bad shit." - Titus' dad... so apparently a way with words runs in the family. #eng611 #dudewheresmyupcar?

Basic language: # Goto #; # Peek #, #; # Poke #, #. I came, I saw, I conquered. But who (what?) is doing the conquering here? #eng611 #feed

@Harleycanread one of my favorite lines! #eng611

[Kate Plato @KateLikesLit]

Janie gains power as her marriages fail, the opposite of what women used marriage for traditionally. #eng611

[Kate Plato @KateLikesLit]

"That was the end of her childhood." In many books would be soul-crushing, incredibly powerful transition; just another line here. #eng611

[Kate Plato @KateLikesLit]

"You just wants to hug and kiss and feel around with first one man and then another, huh?" #eng611 #yup

[Kate Plato @KateLikesLit]

I wonder if the heavy use of dialect in this text is meant to slow the reader down in TEWWG -- no choice but to slowly close-read. #eng611

[Kate Plato @KateLikesLit]

"He was uh man wid salt in him. He could give uh flavor to anything." He sounds delicious! #eng611 #haveisaidtoomuch #yolo

Nanny wanted what was best for Janie... I don't see her as selfish, but frightened. Hers was a hard life. #eng611 https://t.co/199IaSaUVa

[Ms. Goldberg @GoldbergELA]

Do we blame Nanny for Janie's 1st husband? Did she do what she thought was best, or was she selfish knowing she was soon to die? #eng611
