Hemingway's Ability

Would Nabokov consider Hemingway to be a "master" author/writer?
Why or why not?

Regardless of Nabokov,
do you consider Hemingway to be a "master" author/writer?
Why or why not?

Nabokov

What is Nabokov's ultimate goal in "Good Readers and Good Writers"?

What message is he trying to convey to his audience?

Did you find any cool, odd, and/or interesting textual features
(like the long sentence) that we should address?
If so, try and explain why it might be there - what is the purpose?

Any responses and/or any questions regarding this piece should go in this thread.

Star Power

The thought of this year excites me.

I could already see the brilliant minds and intricate thought processes that you all possess. I observe you gaining identities as juniors and embracing the scholarship that this year requests of you.

Congratulations!

Please use this thread for all Star Power comments.

Perhaps you didn't get to particpate in class?

Maybe you want to continue the discussion?

Can make any more connections between the game and other elements of life?

Welcome to AP English Language and Composition

Hello AP Students!

This blog is the electronic start to your junior year.

Over the last two years, the blog has gained success, so I decided to keep it active.

Feel free to previous posts if you would like a glimpse into the student insights of AP English.

My previous students have continued to exceed my expectations with high-level critical thought and discourse. Their posts here may help you with ideas, engage you in discussion, and/or provide you with a more lucid background into our texts. I will direct you to a handout on blogging in class, but please know that you may always voice your input regarding any topic that takes place in the posts, in the classroom, in the books, and in your head.

Electronic participation can satisfy all participation requirements in my class.
I will post about our summer reading project soon.

If you have any questions or concerns,
please email me at drobin@d211.org

Peace, Love, and Recycle.
