I'm doing the same thing you are, in fact--not as systematically chapter by chapter, but the general goal of reading the Pulitzer Prize winners in order, and commenting about them along the way. I'm pretty happy with "His Family" also-- if you're interested, you can see my posts at <a href="" rel="nofollow">http://followingpulitzer.wordpress.com</a> where, as you'll note, I haven't gotten too far yet. Anyway, when I stumbled into your blog and saw you were attempting the same thing, I thought I'd wish you luck: I hope the reading's going well!James Rosenzweig https://www.blogger.com/profile/02492483211985842770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2001066541970630015.post-40150526920059705182009-01-29T08:20:00.000-07:002009-01-29T08:20:00.000-07:00In this world we are all faced with the issues of ...In this world we are all faced with the issues of meeting and greeting. The www (video games, blogs, etc...) gives us each a sense of anonymity that gives us the ability to be who and what we want. Each day we wake up we play out our scripted roles that we have had assigned to us or that we have freely accepted. SO, the escape to the WWW is nothing that should be seen as in any way wrong or not of good report. In dealing with the crowds of masses that a person must face it is best to just grab the bull by the horns and hold on till its over. Thats always worked for me... usually. <BR/>As for that elephant... don't let him in he will simple eat you out of house and home and then move along to the next unspecting victim of his tea and crumpets ploy. <BR/> As for the MMORPG definitions. now I know and I am hip to the "code" LOL!Anne HIllhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837832760362149202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2001066541970630015.post-34727032431766958182008-11-20T11:27:00.000-07:002008-11-20T11:27:00.000-07:00That's true Mickey; however, we are given a hint o...That's true Mickey; however, we are given a hint of what Song's childhood was like in one line of the play. The issue with this line is that we have no idea whether what s/he is saying is true because could just be an act. Let's examine the line just because I'm sitting here without anyone to tutor and I am having so much fun writing crap loads of stuff about almost nothing. To the point:<BR/>"Song: I am your treasure. Though inexperienced. I am not...ignorant. They teach us things, our mothers, about pleasing a man." (I.xiii). If this line is true then Song was taught by his mother how to please another man, rising him to be a homosexual. I think that this line is a lie, a reinforcing the cliche that Gallimard so ardently believes. The perfect woman would be a virgin but still know how to please her man. It's a very intriguing line, but doubtless that it's true.Olsen Potterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151625921008496265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2001066541970630015.post-8307766774549154382008-11-20T09:18:00.000-07:002008-11-20T09:18:00.000-07:00M Butterfyl....A tragic love story.Don't think tha...M Butterfyl....<BR/>A tragic love story.<BR/>Don't think that Song is not only creating a deceptive smoke screen, but also fufilling her own fantasy in the process. She plays the womans role so well that she becomes the "perfect" oreintal woman! Being taught gender roles is done in the home, since we know nothing about Song prior to this affair we can only seculate that she was a feminine boy. One who perhaps stayed in the house with his mother rather than out doing wht ever it is that oriental boys do....<BR/>Just a thought!
