first blog assignment, david rees

(Your actual post for Sunday should be on the other blog. Since that blog will sometimes get crowded, I'll put all the assignments on this blog, too. Think of it as an easy way to see what you're responsible for.)

For this weekend, please post on one of the following topics by Sunday at 8PM.

1. Still have things to say about Spiegelman's In the Shadow of No Towers? Did I not call on you when you had something brilliant to say? Here's your chance to share your thoughts. Describe the panel/s or essay/s that you'll be talking about in your post (i.e. give us enough detail to know what you're referring to) and then let us know what's on your mind.

2. Give us an example and explanation of how Spiegelman uses irony in In the Shadow of No Towers.

3. Respond to Jonah Goldberg's decision to drop Ann Coulter from "The National Review Online" after her "This is War" column.

Finally, we'll be reading David Rees' Get Your War On next week. You can find his comic strip at this website (which you can also get to using the "Useful Link" listed on the left-hand side of the blog). We'll be reading pages 1-17. Please print out, read, and think about the panels on pages 1-9 for Tuesday.

Email me with any questions or comments. Good luck!
