Here we go a-blogging...
A blog is literally a "web log" or a journal online. As AP English 11 students, you will be asked to respond to different writing in an intellectual way. This blog is a forum for "fleshing out" those ideas. It is a place where you can brainstorm with your peers from your class as well as from the other AP 11 class. Please be respectful of one another and be tolerant of opinions that are contradictory to your own. You do not have to agree, but you also don't have to be rude about it. Other than that, very little is off limits. However, keep it school appropriate... :)
First installment:
Let's talk about Into the Wild...
Chapter 2 of Into the Wild focuses on facts about Chris's end, and chapter 3 focuses on the beginning of Chris's "oddyssey"... Why does Krakauer tell the reader the end before the beginning? What effect does knowing the end have on the reader? In your opinion, is it effective?
Explain what you think the purpose of the excerpts at the beginning of each chapter are all about...
What is your opinion of why Chris changed his name to Alexander Supertramp? What is the significance of the name and the name change?
