Welcome to our course blog. I invite you to post developed, organized, thoughtful responses to the texts we read. It would be impossible to explore every one of our texts completely, so here we'll continue class discussion, introducing and/or developing perspectives. I want you to write and to read what others have written, and I encourage you to respond to each other. Disagreement is fine, so long as disagreement centers on the text and is respectful.

Annie (2)
The story is written in letter form. When reading it this way it only allows you to get one perspective of what is going on. You only see and feel Liza'x side of everything. It is harder to 'get the facts'. The way we see other characters in the story are conformed to her interaction with characters? Her response? She is in a kind of blur, it is hard for even her to see things clearly, so even harder for us sometimes. The only person we really get a real feel of is Annie, and that is because Liza is smitten my by Annie so she pays more attention to detail with her, and tells us more about her. I think it was really hard to relate to Liza. I think even more for everyone who isn't me in the class. I think because I am a lesbian too, and I am also a bit detached with my own emotions. This made it easier to relate to only being able to want to talk about the woman you want and never thinking of describing myself. I don't see the point of telling about myself because I am not what s interesting, she is. You know, but I fully understand the inability to relate.
