The Student Lounge: Introduce yourself!
Introduce yourself without giving away your identity. Other students cannot know who you are, even your friends. This forum is to be entirely anonymous: a synonym for anonymous? Blindness.

Why English?
Why do they make you take this course over and over again when you already speak, read, and write in English?
Put up some quotes from Educated Imagination here.

and What's with the Cave?!?
What does it mean, the cave? Who are the prisoners and who is the jailor? What did they do wrong? What is the sun? The fire? The Shadows? Do the prisoners like their cave?

The Lounge of the Blind
Without revealing your name, your gender, your hobbies, at least ones that would give you away, please introduce yourself! This may be tricky, so beware. Topics discussed should relate to the issues we cover in English Language Arts, which is really quite flexible, so just try to tie it in. This is for you to post your responses and thoughts. The objective here is to learn about each other anonymously, without revealing identity.

Oedipus The King
This play operates on a metaphorical level. It's not just about a guy who sleeps with.... It's symbolic! "Count no man blessed until his life is unstruck by ruin still."

A Streetcar Named Desire
This play is about desire is all its tender and ugly forms, in all its sado-masochistic forms. Who beats and who cringes when? Did they deserve it. Who's really crazy? Tennessee Williams asks his audience to judge, so JUDGE!
