Ladies' and Gentlemen's Choice!

By the end of this week, please post your thoughts on one of the following texts we're discussing in class:

• "The Waking"--especially once we've discussed this challenging text in class

• "Barbie Doll"--in particular, I'd love your thoughts on how Piercy uses irony in this poem.  How does her use of irony compare with the way Gordimer uses irony in "Once Upon a Time"? 

• "Miniver Cheevy"--how does this poem compare with "Harrison Bergeron" and/or "Eveline"?

You should also plan to comment on one of your peers' blogs before the end of the week.

I'm excited to read your posts!
