I don't discuss plot much; instead, I talk about cultural references, passivity as antithetical to coming-of-age, expectations of children as audience, and standard narrative devices in modern children's books.Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04233753953845020779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-39479231958052868732012-06-18T10:34:06.892-04:002012-06-18T10:34:06.892-04:00Added my link for Cranford by Elizabeth Gaskell - ...Added my link for Cranford by Elizabeth Gaskell - now onto Germinal by Emile Zola.

I had to do a general response-type approach to this one, because my traditional format just doesn't apply to non-fiction.
