We are well past the half-way mark in The Old Man and the Sea, and as you get started on your blog, I’d like you to take a moment and tell me what you can about this book. Tell me what you understand the book to be about so far, and tell your potential audience (which surely includes your classmates) what Hemingway is exploring here.

I have talked about things as we read and even recaptured the most meaty discussions on the class website, so if you need to check them out to help you know what to write, do so. You are smart people, and I am not going to hold your hand and tell you what you write. Tell me something interesting about what you have thought about this book so far, make yourself sound as intelligent as I think you are (among other things, that means use the spell check), and write at least 250 words.

Welcome to the world of the blog!
