So sorry I couldn't figur out how to work the blog, but now i got it.
So far I really like this book. I guess it's good to start with what are initial reactions are to the way he is writing this, and also what we think about his story in general? What's moving to you? What do you think is interesting rhetorically?
One of my favorite chapters so far was the one in which he talked about slave songs. Did anyone else like that one? I also thought that his motivation for learning to read was amazing. He was motivated so that he could be "useless" slave.
What do you think?
