first response
Starting off school has been a lot different than expected, i am from a small town and springfield is a lot bigger than where i am from. In the classes that i have taken so far i have been a little dissappointed because they are not what I was expecting. I am having a hard time getting into Nobody Knows My Name, by James Baldwin, but I am continuing to read it. In the part that i have read so far it comes across as a negative book.

Just keep reading, Kasey, and don't give up! We all need to put ourselves in Baldwin's shoes, and see what he is seeing in 1956--1960 through his eyes--as a black man, as a gay man, as a writer.
ReplyDeleteNo one said college was supposed to be easy; you are all going through adjustments, so take some comfort in the fact that you are not going through it alone!
