Mrs. Brown

I really learned alot in class Tuesday! I can honestly say that I had no idea there was high Lit and low Lit. It now makes sense to me why I don't enjoy reading Moby Dick!! It is totally character based. I really had an awakening as to why I had a hard time getting into Left Hand of Darkness until the end of the novel when it became more plot driven.

I thought it was really interesting how Le Guin explains about character and how in a way she was ripping on her own methods of writing in Science fiction. Using Mrs. Brown as an example of the fact that every story needs a rich character like her was really an interesting analogy.

I overall really had an enlightening experience in class Tuesday! It was pure pleasure to start Graceling! I enjoyed looking at the begining of the novel with the gender roles and questions it gave the novel more depth and a larger message looking at with more than one perspective.
