Goodbyes

It's the end of a semester. People are making commencement plans, vacation plans, new career plans...

 

I started thinking...

how would our authors from this semester of

American Literature say goodbye?

 

If they were leaving us, what would their parting words of wisdom be?

 

Alice Walker would say something inspirational.

 

Stephen Crane would still be boring.

 

Sylvia Plath would say something morbid, but pithy, so we'd let her get away with it.

 

I think we could all agree that if we could vote for one author

from this semester's readings

to speak at our college graduation...

 

the guy we'd agree on would be...

 

Mark Twain.

 

He'd stir the pot.
And be witty.
We'd laugh.
And think.
And then laugh again.

 

So I decided to end the semester's blog with a quote from him.

One final... "Literary Tweet."

 

 

Not too sleepy of a conscious...
drink responsibly and

don't forget to tip your waitress.

 

Farewell, spring semester 2014.
