Last week, this week: Oct. 11th – Oct. 17th

Greetings!

This past week turned out to be really busy, but I held in there! And, with this next signaling the end of the first quarter for students at my school, I have no doubt that I am going to be busy grading papers and collecting essential assignments.

With that in mind, this week will probably be light on posts, but I do have a few things in store.

Last week

We looked at the first chapter of Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll last week and learned a few things about Alice and the start of her adventure. Moreover, we looked at a section of a frightening children’s poem about goblins coming and snatching up your children when they don’t behave right!

This week

I am already behind in a lot of my work, and in the spirit of taking some time to myself to have a more manageable life (for the time being anyway), I am going to cut down on posts until I can figure out how to blog more consistently while also keeping up with my job and other hobbies (music).

Nevertheless, I will be writing a few posts this week that are in the spirit of Halloween, because I can’t seem to stop writing even if I want to drop the activity entirely, and the spooky season is definitely here (just look outside today)!

Monday: We will be looking at a spooky short story and discussing its theme as it relates to the horror genre.

Wednesday: We will be summarizing and analyzing a short horror poem by a famous Gothic writer!

Friday: We have a literature and film post that discusses a fantastic author’s tale and the movie version.

So, that’s the plan for this week! I hope to hear from you!

    Hi Joshua, I definitely hear you about the strain to continue to write and the other things that take up the time. I have been debating about going down to twice a week posts as the time to write doesn’t seem to be there. This is great work and I definitely like the October theme.

      I go from moments of being completely driven to do all of my work to moments of extreme exhaustion (apparently that’s not unusual for bloggers and writers). Thank you so much for the kind words and I hope to hear from you again!

      (p.s. I am going to check out your blog!)
