What an interesting train of thought! I think for some teachers the goal of studying literature is to check a box so the student can get into college. My goal is to open a door into wonder, show students how to understand and love literature, and teach them to write both artfully and insightfully. The thing I enjoy about EIL is that I get to share many of my favorite books with a lot of people! Thank you for visiting!

Your comment about Diary gets me wondering why these sorts of things are not the norm, and the literary analysis the exception, if a primary goal if for the students to absorb the content of the literature. Hmm… guess now I am wondering what the goal of studying the lit is.

It gave me an idea for creating an in class activity in which students play different roles in analyzing a character. I will use this idea for “The Trial of Wing Biddlebaum” the protagonist of Sherwood Anderson’s “Hands.” We will make sure that Wing gets his “due process!”
