As part of your blog on Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit by Jeanette Winterson, you are required to include eight entries that chronicle your reading experience of the novel. (Still has 7 entries left)
There are two types of responses you’ll be expected to write for every blog post: 1) Personal Reactions and 2) Key Literary Elements.
Response #1 is an open ended question that asks you to log your thoughts and reactions on any aspect of the
book.
Response #2 asks you to try to choose a specific literary element that you thought was prevalent in the section you’ve read, then you’ll focus on a specific scene (with quotes) and explain what significance you see in that scene. Remember to focus on things like character, an action, an image, a certain setting, a point of view issue, so on.
You will make a total of 8 entries in your blog, which is one entry per chapter of the novel.
Remember that your blog is a chronicle of your reactions as you read, this includes your thoughts and feelings about the book. The blog is your space to engage in a conversation with the book, whether with the characters or the story or assessing some behavior. HOWEVER, what you must avoid doing is harshly judging the character, and I emphasize the ‘harshly’ here. Remember that your blog is still a public forum and so you must restrain from berating and/or condemning aspects of the book outright, especially the characters. Of course you can express frustration, confusion, and even anger about something a character may say or do, but the goal here is to try to understand why they behave that way. You might also explore why you are having such a strong reaction to a character’s behavior. Your responses definitely express an opinion, but it must also be thoughtful and constructive.
