Reader Response Criticism
Like most teens, Sonny and his habits are only a product of his environment.
I will support this by comparing Sonny's old environment to his new home in the flowers and also the new characteristics he has picked up along the way. I will also compare my own findings to how some of the culture around me has affected my own self.

ReplyDeleteI had to revise this for clarity three times...and I'm still not satisfied, but I'm out of time..ahh the joys of writing.
ReplyDeleteWell, I will say that you have a knack for vivid, imaginative, prediction posts! I remain unconvinced, however, that you have actually read the novel. You make several statements, such as when you say that Sonny doesn't like either race very much that convince me that, indeed, you have not read the novel. This makes writing a convincing argument extremely tricky. I predict that you will have a hard time writing this paper. I hope my prediction about your future difficulty in writing this paper are wrong, however, because I can tell you a very smart and capable person. One of the serious problems with not reading when you are a college student (besides low grades and the fact that 80 percent of college learning comes from reading) is that your assumptions (and predictions) about the way life is are never challenged by opposing views and new information that might actually force you to question those assumptions never occurs. An important part of our growth and evolution as a human beings is exactly this process of taking in and evaluating new information and determining who we are in relation to these new perspectives. That's just my two cents on the subject...feel free to argue with me via the comment box if you disagree. Ultimately, what I really hope is that you prove me wrong about your reading habits and that you show me, and everyone else reading, that I'm wrong by posting a rough draft that incorporates thoughtful analysis of your reading of this novel using one of the critical perspectives—something I know you are more than capable of doing if you put your mind to it.
