Coming Attractions for the End of the Semester

So, with one Essay left to do in AmCon this semester, I think the time has come for me to talk about the other things I am doing in my classes at stolaf. That will be the subject of future blog posts.

My Ántonia - MY MY MY MY

My Latest Masterpiece for AmCon

    Through the novel My Ántonia, our friendly narrator, Jim Burden, is given a special status by his idol, Ántonia Shimerda. That status is the free and happy land known as the friendzone. He is described by the author as “[writing] on the pinkish face of the portfolio the word, Ántonia. He frowned at this a moment, then prefixed another word, making it My Ántonia. That seemed to satisfy him.”
