Retrospective Readings

During the last three weeks we have read a number of early American magazine texts dealing with seduction and fallen women. What are your thoughts, reactions, and reflections on these curious texts? What did you get out of these texts? Which—if any—of the texts spoke to you in a direct, relevant way? Although yesterday’s texts dealt with familiar and topical issues like domestic abuse and teenage pregnancy, we could not generate much discussion about them, and we wondered why. Reflect back on this strange grouping of texts, and reflect back on your reading experiences, and comment on what happened when you encountered these texts.

Please remember that your posting is due by Thursday at 5pm, and your responses to your peers are due by Friday at 5pm.
