Dickinson stanza analysis
Choose any stanza from the Emily Dickinson poems we have studied. Type the stanza at the beginning of your post, then analyze it thoroughly, focusing on diction, tone or atmosphere, imagery, symbols, themes, form, rhyme, rhythm, etc. Do not choose the same stanza as anyone else, and don't forget to sign your name! (max. 350 words; due November 12th - but don't leave it until the last minute!)

Pride and Prejudice
Write a blog post in reaction to one of the aspects you brainstormed about after finishing the novel and the film: comment on the three different endings (compare and contrast; how would you end the film?); comment on the casting (imagine you were the casting director!); comment on the changes made and their effects in order to adapt the story to a two-hour film; comment on the continuing popularity of Jane Austen's novel. Feel free to react to other blog posts, and don't forget to sign your name! **Let's try not to exceed 500 words per blog post - less is more on the
Internet, as you all know!! And less than that is perfectly fine - work
on writing succinctly and focusing on and developing one or two ideas. If the others don't have the time to read all of your blog posts, then we're defeating the purpose of exchanging ideas on this blog.

2des - Breakfast at Tiffany's
Post your response to the film version of Breakfast at Tiffany's, comparing/contrasting it with the novella. I'm looking for insight and analytical thinking about the effects of the changes made to the story, characters, point of view, setting, themes, etc. You may also respond to any of your classmates' posts. Don't forget to sign your name!
