The Good Soldier

The Good Soldier was an interesting novel. I enjoyed it more than I enjoyed The Portrait. I've grown to enjoy books with unreliable narrators. I enjoy the stories more when the narrator is a part of the storyline. I find myself trying to sift through the emotion-filled descriptions of the characters and the facts of the situation and judge the characters for myself. There were some very interesting characters throughout the story, but I would have to say that Leonora was definitely my favorite. I'm excited about the upcoming group assignment and the next two novels. I think I may be more excited about a three day weekend...

First Week

Well I can definitely say that this class had alot more work than any of my other online classes this week. It's a good thing I began reading Joyce's book before school began. The book, overall, wasn't my favorite but it wasn't awful. I learned alot about Modernism by looking on Wikipedia earlier this week. I think it was important for me to understand Modernism before discussing the book and its Modernistic qualities. Modernism is very different and isn't something I've studied in depth before. I think it will be very rewarding to dig into Modernist literature and study its many qualities and faults.
