I’ve enjoyed reading your responses to “Lady with a Dog.” Now, keep moving forward into other texts–I look forward to hearing your commentary and thoughts and reflections on many of the texts we’re reading and discussing. It would be especially great to hear you write about some of our readings before we discuss them in class, as preparation for our discussions. Why not try posting on “Love in a Fallen City” before we talk about it in class? POst some questions or comments you have, or reflect on the characters, their situations, their interactions, etc.

Also, think about adding an”About this Blog” and “About Me” pages that explain your blog, its theme, who you are and what your interests are, and why you’re doing this blog, etc. Finally, you might play with design a little, if you have time. Add some links to sits with ideas or issues related to your interests, or some images, or embed a video.

Also, I’d like to see you steer away from summary. I’m interested in your final two questions in this post and would love to hear your answer to them. What do you think? That would make for a great post. In future, try to make posts that pose–and suggest answers to–good questions. Then see if your blog readers would agree or disagree with your answers.

Finally, I see your blog title is women in the nineteenth century. Do you not plan on writing on any of the texts beyond the nineteenth century? Most of our upcoming readings are from the twentieth century, so you might want to consider altering your focus. Be sure to make an “About” page that explains your blog, it’s theme, and what you find interesting about your chosen theme.
