Reading Schedule:
Read the first 30 or so pages of Beloved by Wed Oct 30.
Read the entire novel Beloved by Monday Nov. 4th.
DO NOT WATCH THE MOVIE IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY. IT WILL SURELY RUIN THE BOOK FOR YOU. IT IS A WRETCHED ATTEMPT AT TURNING ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE 20TH CENTURY INTO A MOVIE.
As you read, don't stress on when you feel lost or adrift or confused. Do yourself a favor and just read, and keep reading and keep reading. The book unfolds as it goes on. It is a mystery, so you aren't supposed to know what is happening at all times. You are required to post no less than 6 blogs on this book, each one being 400 words or more. You can write on whatever you want and in whatever style you want. Choose particular moments in the book and riff. Take yourself back and put your feet into the footprints of these characters. Give yourself every opportunity to fall headlong with abandon inside of this book. If you write something personal just send it to me in an email. All of your blog posts will be due by Monday Nov. 11th.
