House of Spirits

Monday, October 16th, 2006

This book for me was a little slow in the beginning but as I kept reading I got the flow of it and found it to be getting more interesting. I want to keep reading to see what happens next. Blanca to me is a very strong woman. Estaben expects Blanca to obey him but she was very bold about being with Pedro. This book seems to be based on alot of clashes so this keeps me reading.

Author and Digital Literature

Monday, October 16th, 2006

The digital literature is interesting because the way the text is set up and hwo there is a different line in a shadow behind a line. It does make sense to ask questions. Their approach to reading is lying and to make literature like you have never seen before.
I don’t really see much intention in them, you are not really learning much knowledge with them. The built in interactivity make them seem richer to me because it gives the literature more value.
I l ike the second one better because it is at a slower pace and less distracting than the Arteroids one with the game and noises.

Literature

THe way the Corrido was written through it’s many different singers shows a totally different way to write literature. I always interpreted literature as a little boring and mostly uninteresting. The Corrido, however, kept me very interested. It was also interesting having in-class discussions about these stories to see everyone elses opinions on each story.

Corrido

I believe that the circulation of Corrido tells us that literature should be entertaining. The many different stories makes you want to keep reading so you can see the different endings. Some stories you may have hated Cortez and wanted him dead but other stories you may think of him as the victim. Literature must keep you interested in order for you to keep reading. This literature is a great example of this.
