For the second half of the semester you will be required to post a weekly blog updating the class on your progress with the "Novel Project".
What is the "Novel Project"? Well, for the second half of the semester you will be asked to read, review, analyze, discuss, research and write about one novel. (You must choose one novel from the list I provide in the blog, and it must be a novel that at least one other person in class is reading.)

Questions
What is literature? Literature is any form of writing that has a morale or a point.
Why Study It? We study it to get a different view on things and to understand different ways of thinking.
Literature is a form of art in which any person, regardless of race, sex and etcetera has the ability to write about anything they wish. These topics may range from controversial or complex subjects to simple, mundane ones. Either way, each piece of literary work is unique and special in its own way despite its complexity because it is something the author can call their own. In literature, there is a special connection between reader and writer in which two or more people have the ability to learn and understand things from each other.
Literature should be studied as a means of developing insight and perhaps awareness of the various elements of life. After all, we all have our own personal experiences and views, so it can be very helpful to view both sides of the spectrum and the various different opinions of a given topic.
