A Little Info on Vonnegut

Check out this wiki for some quick biographical information on Kurt Vonnegut.

I find his life's story to be poignant and interesting... maybe you will too. Note that he was a soldier in WWII and also an artist. Here is one of my favorite images of his. There is a coffee shop/artist venue/music hall in Bushwick named Goodbye Blue Monday... any connection you think? If you are ever interested in the local arts scene, this place is the place to go!

e-journal #10 (4/7)

Recall that an analysis, or explication, “unfolds” the work. That is, it explains in detail how the selected piece of text “communicates” to the reader by focusing on one or more of the elements of literature: sound, structure, figurative language, development of characters, development of plot and action, or irony, to name a few. Using Joyce’s “Araby” offer a written analysis that explains how one or more literary elements present in the story “communicate” to you. Revisit the Analysis and Explanation Guidelines on p.121 and 134, respectively, for assistance with this assignment.
