I have almost finished reading our book in common, "A Moveable Feast" by Ernest Hemingway, for the second time. After reading this book a second time I think I have been to understand the book fore. I understand the book is about his life in Paris with his wife Hadley and his son Bumby. Hemingway writes about all the prominent people he met in Paris including Scott Fitzgerald, Ezra Pound, and Gertrude Stein among many other people.
I have been thinking a lot about the semester project and still have yet to find anything that I can write a paper about. I am usually not good at thinking about a subject that I can write a paper over, especially if there is no real requirements about a specific subject. I am hoping, that after reading the other requirements for the semester project, that I will be able to think of a good subject to write about.

I wish I could read it twice. I managed to plow through it one time, and will review/scan it some more, however, reading it word for word again is not something I really want to do. Sounds as if you are ready for the test. I wish I knew what to look for or study to better prepare myself for next weeks test. I wonder what type of questions will be asked, if it is something one could go to page so in so and find the answer or if it is the type that requires some sort of interpretation. Hummm, guess we will find out soon enough.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about the book in common. It's not a normal story book where you can pick out the theme, plot, imagery, or analyze it deeply. I'm trying so hard to understand what the main concept of the book is. Also, I've tried to decide what I could possibly write the semester project on. The whole two page paper test thing is not making me too happy. I think of a test as being question and answer with maybe an essay question or two. Not writing a paper. Overall, I'm gonna just have to make it through this class. Thankfully there's only a short time left.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't worry about not having a topic. Once we read the supporting texts I'm sure a common link between them will give you a topic to write about--and hopefully one will occur to me as well.
