White Noise Response

            While the book “White Noise”, by Don Delillo was a very difficult I feel like I may have come away with a few different themes or viewpoints that the author was trying to convey.  The family in the book seemed like the typical modern family, with two divorced parents marrying and sharing of children, yet there seems to be a dark cloud hanging over this family.  I am leaning towards the theme that the toxic spill and infidelity was the authors’ way of expressing the dangers and our own personal fears of what the future may hold for us. 

                This is just a tentative theme that I am working on while I reread portions of the book to see if I can get a different point of view that I may have overlooked the first time.  In the mean time any and all feedback is greatly appreciated.

Dear Ms. Cline

 Ms. Cline:

 Wow!! Can’t believe that we are already half way through the semester, where does the time go.  I have to say that I have really enjoyed the way you direct the class.  You have taught me a new way of expressing my understanding of different literature.  Even though I was having a tough time with the Swift essay, I was able to get past the shock of his proposal and see what he was really trying to say.  You are helping me to broaden my mind and to reach out from the everyday mundane thinking that we all can get caught up in.   I have even branched out and let other read what I have written, which is a first for me.

I am looking forward to the rest of the semester and to your guidance in learning on how to analyze different readings.  Hope you have some fun on spring break.

Sincerely,
Michelle Ferguson
