Per. 5 East of Eden response, questions, ideas

For the first blog posting, I'd like you to write a brief but thoughtful response to East of Eden. Don't summarize- we all read the novel (right??), but get right into the heart of what you think and wonder. Perhaps think about themes, motifs, the grand message, style, or your opinion of the efficacy and interest of it all. Write your own response and/or react to the ideas of those who post before you.

This blog will be the majority (if not all) of our class discussion before the in-class essay. The more you put into it, the more you as a class will get out of it.

Please be sure to sign your name at the bottom, and feel free to post more than once, if you'd like.

I'll start us off to get things rolling...
