Before McMurphy came, they were all touched by the virus the nurse held. She made it seem like they had choices and the good life but they ... http://www.sherwoodweb.org/lyceum033A/lyceum-0.33/src/lyceum/smyers/2006/12/10/mcmurphy-vs-nurse/ In the chapter Amusements, the tricksters were Victor and Sadie, pulling a joke on Dirty Joe. Dirty Joe had a little too much to drink and passed out at an amusement park. The trick was hilarious, putting passed out Joe on the back of a roller coaster for ... http://www.sherwoodweb.org/lyceum033A/lyceum-0.33/src/lyceum/smyers/2006/12/06/trickster/ I am very confused on what is going on in our new novel, The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven. Each and every chapter is a different story of what seem to be the same characters. They do not have any relativity to the chapter or story ... http://www.sherwoodweb.org/lyceum033A/lyceum-0.33/src/lyceum/smyers/2006/12/05/confused/ The different narration between the movie and the novel makes the two very different. In the movie, it seems like Mcmurphy is the main character and we tend to see things through his perspective. While in the novel Chief Bromden is the main character or narrator of the ... http://www.sherwoodweb.org/lyceum033A/lyceum-0.33/src/lyceum/smyers/2006/11/29/movie-to-novel/ I absolutley thought these forms of electronic literature were very unique and fun. Compared to the previous types of electronic literature, I actually enjoyed looking at these and took in the experience. Storyland made me want to fill in the blanks that were missing in each of the ... http://www.sherwoodweb.org/lyceum033A/lyceum-0.33/src/lyceum/smyers/2006/11/15/storylandangel-site/ Professor Sherwood keeps pushing the limit of what we think is literature. I always knew a novel was literature and I always knew poems were types of literature, but songs or corridos? It is very interesting how Sherwood is pushing us to look into the words and really ... http://www.sherwoodweb.org/lyceum033A/lyceum-0.33/src/lyceum/smyers/2006/10/11/corridos-games-liesliterature/ This book is one of the easiest books to get sucked into. Once you start reading it, the book is so hard to put down. Part of it, I believe, is because of the crazy nature of everything going on. Are we reading about humans? Or ... http://www.sherwoodweb.org/lyceum033A/lyceum-0.33/src/lyceum/smyers/2006/10/11/house-of-spirits-part-1/ The electronic poem did not really do anything for me what so ever. It showed many words that were arranged in alphabetical order, starting with A's and moving to the Z's. The words came from every direction, top, bottom, left, right, ECT. This was a distraction as ... http://www.sherwoodweb.org/lyceum033A/lyceum-0.33/src/lyceum/smyers/2006/10/11/the-first-electronic-poem/ I really enjoyed the digital literature of lies. It was very interesting how the creator of the website could turn a list of lies into a form of literature. It was also surprisingly meaningful as well, unlike the random words of the digital literature game. The lies ... http://www.sherwoodweb.org/lyceum033A/lyceum-0.33/src/lyceum/smyers/2006/10/11/electronic-poem-of-lies/ I had to blog on how this character, Tayo, affected me as I read through Ceremony. It was like Tayo was going through Hell throughout the first half of the novel, making himself sick thinking of Rocky and how he was a huge disgrace to his family.
