My thoughts on ELIC…

I LOVED THIS BOOK! It was so beautiful! I wish I would have been in class on tuesday so I could have discussed the end with everyone! I love how the key didn’t really have anything to do with Oskar’s dad! The led to him finally realizing his brokenness and accepting the lift of his burdens. It led to the realization that there was nothing he could do to change the situation and helped him in overcoming guilt. I also loved how Mr. Black learned what it meant to live!
It was really sad, but I love being sad from books and movies so its ok :]

So…about this paper…I love my topic but I’m having a lot of trouble putting my thoughts down on paper. Its really frustrating because I know what I want to get across it just won’t come. I’m really taking a risk because its not really writing on a narrative strategy but more a narrative theme that helps me make sense of the text. Hopefully that will fly. I’ll keep my fingers crossed…and meet with Kirstyn to make sure its ok :]
