Response to Coarse Materials #5

   I can't believe how long we have been in this class for. That is the first thought that went through my mind as I began writing this. It seems like only yesterday we were doing "The American Dream".  Anyway, this week we have been annotating "Ceremony" and discussing. This is normal except we are discussing by having a group that is assigned to a specific part of the book present their thoughts on that portion. It is interesting to see how a group looks at their portion of a novel. While it is interesting, I feel like i am being rude by opposing a group and their thoughts on their portion of the book. It also gets boring sometimes. I feel as though this format of discussion is a lot less meaningful and I am not exposed to new ideas as well as i could be. I think the whole class discussion is the way to go with these books. Besides being a little bored sometimes, I did for the most part, enjoy this week. One more to go till break.
