Don, Thanks for the explanations of today's article. I appreciate your passion about the subjects. At first I thought the essay/chapter was way over my head, but the more I persisted, the more sense it made. Luckily I could relate some of the ideas to experiences in an English literature class with an ancient professor who was in love with the arts and believed in the beauty of English. But he was not a snob about it and read and recited Shakespeare in the classroom to the delight of all. A wonderful teacher. Again, thanks for the insight. Lois

I agree, Don did a terrific job. I love listening to an impassioned teacher who is loaded with expertise. I wish I had had someone like him as my own teacher in high school. I remember my own high school senior English teacher - she was pretty much the polar opposite of Don. Z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z......
I third that. Your insights in our brief discussion today made me see far deeper into the piece than I saw myself.
Don did a wonderful job today in making a difficult topic understandable and meaningful. At first, I didn't think I was getting the point as I read the article last night, but I actually did get the point and I felt good about that fact. I worked through something difficult and actually got the point. I think I'm feeling like some of my students when they get an AH, Hah moment.
