My students surprised me this week with their expert handling of papers on analyzing different writing styles.#LitNOWeek12

Last week at Meet Your Buddy Day, I let my students know how impressed I was with their papers but also how they could improve.#LitNOWeek11

Kim's recording is a way for her to deal with traumas present in her life; through expression of her trauma, it is vindicated.#LitNOWeek10

Overlaying the tourist soundtrack with footage of the destroyed 9th ward was very poignant, and even made me feel a bit guilty.#LitNOWeek10

All of my students got 10's in their rubrics this week, but they should try to exceed the basic requirements more often.#LitNOWeek10

Binx's relationship with Lonnie is interesting. Does he envy Lonnie's relationship with God?#LitNOWeek9

[Matthew Moore @Mat14Moore]

However, one could infer that Binx's sour opinion religion or God is that the very act of acknowledging either is too "normal".#LitNOWeek9

[Matthew Moore @Mat14Moore]

I think labeling Binx's search as a "search for God" is misleading, as he hesitates to discuss God or religion in any manner.#LitNOWeek9

Even though I haven't received any correspondence from my students this week, hopefully they are doing well on their assignments.#LitNOWeek9

The savage nature of Sebastian's garden should be indicative of his own savage character, yet even his mother is blind to it.#LitNOWeek8

and now what some think may cure her is the invasion of an even worse physical trauma, thus continuing this undending cycle.#LitNOWeek8

Whether or not the scene Catherine witnessed actually happened, the trauma from it irreparably damaged her psyche....#LitNOWeek8

[Matthew Moore @Mat14Moore]

My buddies have been emailing me about what they'd like to have assistance with in their papers. That's a good sign.#LitNOWeek8

in that its stylings are not limited by convention and boast an underlying significance not readily seen on the surface.#LitNOWeek7

[Matthew Moore @Mat14Moore]

The poetry of Bellocq's Ophelia seems more like prose than normal verse, but one could possibly relate this form to jazz....#LitNOWeek7

[Matthew Moore @Mat14Moore]

Ophelia sees the rain as having a cleansing effect on the city. Perhaps she wishes for it to clean her, even if it's temporary. #LitNOWeek7

[Matthew Moore @Mat14Moore]

Ophelia describes New Orleans in the rain as a "fleeting gilded dream," much like her original dream before Storyville.#LitNOWeek7

[Matthew Moore @Mat14Moore]

Two of my students stepped it up with fantastic papers on space exploration this week, yet the third one still struggled a bit.#LitNOWeek7

[Matthew Moore @Mat14Moore]

Edna Pontellier and Rosa Coldfield both suffer terrible insults, yet Edna is the only one to free herself fully of her trappings.#LitNOWeek6

[Matthew Moore @Mat14Moore]

but after her "rebirth," she noticed her sketches become increasingly brighter, more realistic, and of much better quality.#LitNOWeek6
